The MAGA movement encompasses many grievances, some of which are racially and ethnically motivated. Ostensibly, when America was “great” was when decent paying manufacturing jobs were plentiful and socioeconomic upward mobility seemed within reach for most. Of course, this applied mainly to whites, which is why Blacks, Latinos, Muslims, and even Jews are convenient scapegoats. Victims always need scapegoats to blame in order to feel better and avoid taking responsibility for their situation. And, of course, there are real victims in the offshoring of jobs, increasing automation in manufacturing, and how wealth is allocated. Resentment occurs when people who feel victimized believe other victimized groups are getting preferential treatment over them. That’s really what MAGA is about, I believe.
