White people have an inner racist. That inner racist needs to be tamed by direct confrontation by its owner. Most white people don’t have what it takes to do so, so they vote based on racist dog whistles like CRT and defund the police. Simple as that.

Prospect theory and loss aversion hold the answers, but it don’t make it no better. Can one of our pillars of democracy stand up and save our democracy? Please? Does it have to be We The People? I guess so.
Real live controlled psychological studies have demonstrated that angry reactions to accusations result in higher status being given to white men!

We may not be able to predict who the Dem candidate for president will be, but can we predict the type of candidate? What does the danger and craziness of Trump do to the psyche of the electorate as we head into the 2020 election cycle?
How you viewed the condition of the country probably determined your vote. If you saw the country as doing OKAY, you probably saw the Ol’ Pussy Grabber as too big of a risk. But if you saw the country has going in the wrong direction, you were tempted to take a chance on the Ol’ Pussy Grabber. What does behavioral economics, loss aversion, and risk seeking tell us about 2018?
