[quote]But a new study, published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, argues that[b] a segment of these voters was motivated partly by a far less righteous cause: to protect their own dominant status in American culture and politics[/b]. ...

Instead of finding voters nervous about their family's finances, it[b] uncovered deep concern related to America's declining global power and the projected demographic changes that will put people of color and ethnic minorities in the majority by 2045.

Other studies since the election found that racial attitudes played a role in Trump's election. Mutz says her analysis, which uses high-quality panel data as opposed to cross-section survey data, suggests that [b]people are more threatened by the accelerating achievements of black people rather than the negative stereotypes they may hold.[/b] [/quote]

This could be why in one study, whites who were presented with evidence of racial progress experienced lower self-esteem afterward. In another study,[b] reminding whites who were high in “ethnic identification” that nonwhite groups will soon outnumber them revved up their support for Trump, their desire for anti-immigrant policies, and their opposition to political correctness[/b].[/quote][/quote]
