The Evolution of White Resentment and Political Strategy
The chapter explores how Pat Buchanan's white resentment evolved from discontent with the civil rights movement to demographic fears, leading to his presidential campaigns and influence on Republican Party strategies. It details Buchanan's calls for strict immigration policies such as a 'Buchanan fence' and denial of citizenship to undocumented immigrants' children. The discussion also highlights the lasting impact of Buchanan's extreme views on the party's shift towards radicalization against immigration and demographic change, culminating in his influence on Trump's political tactics.
