I would venture that the defining problem of this era of politics, with obvious manifestations like Trump, is the entire elite media and political establishment swinging hard on a bipartisan basis on behalf of "comfortable white men," a violent and ongoing reaction against the pressure to do better from Me Too, COVID, BLM, trans people, and now Israel-Palestine, a stance which inevitably makes the young, the poor, women, and marginalized people the enemy of the white male supremacist state.
