@StillIRise1963 Examples related to a previous discussion: Medicaid is politically unpopular because white folks think it all goes to poor Black people, when actually 2/3rds of people in nursing homes are paid for by Medicaid. So it’s their own last years they’re voting against. And demographically, since native born Americans aren’t having many kids, we need immigration to support Social Security and Medicare. But white xenophobia won’t allow it.
