Privilege is thinking a non-trivial amount of loyal Fox viewers would vote for a Democrat if only we’d hold more town halls there.
This idea isn’t just wrong, it’s part of how we got here. Like the economic anxiety narrative, it extends a degree of innocence to bigots that is unearned and contrary to fact.
You’re #NotAllWhitePeople-ing the white people who deserve it least. Not that any of us deserve it. But if you think devoted Fox viewers (who wouldn’t watch a Dem town hall on another channel) are voting on something besides white male supremacy, you’re not paying attention.
You’re not paying attention to the last few years/decades of politics, and you’re not paying attention to your own biases and privilege. You’re maintaining white innocence. This is all part of how we got here.
