You might find it strange that a large segment of the Republican base thinks Whites are the true victims of racism and that Christians are under attack.

Our democracy is under siege. We find ourselves a nation divided between competing visions.
Many are committed to turning back the tide of change, through false claims of voter fraud, promotion of “replacement theory,” insistence on unrestricted access to guns and denial of woman’s rights.
