I forget the exact figures, but I believe it went something like this:
Pre-Obama: Centrists (neither conservative nor liberal): 50% Conservatives: 30% Liberals: 20% Deep (4-6 years) into Obama rule: Centrists (neither conservative nor liberal): 40% Conservatives: 40% Liberals: 20%
As you can see, Centrists suffered a 10% share loss and conservatives experienced a 10% share gain. What happened here is that 20% of people calling themselves Centrists went over to conservatism.
A couple of questions.
Who were those Centrists to conservatives? Almost all of them were White people.
Why did this strange and sudden political change happen? America elected a nigger.
Honestly, I cannot think of any other possible reason for such an extreme shift rightward of White opinion, remarkably and coinciding (and not by chance) with the election of the first Black president. To me, this is as clear as the nose on my face. I do not see anyone could dispute such an obvious analysis.
