Robert P. Jones asks why Trump won hite voters without a college degree by 32 points in 2020. His answer: race. "Make America great again” is an appeal to a nostalgia for an America dominated by white Christians who are furious now at their waning control over the country.

Jones says,

“I’ve always thought that, in Trump’s Maga slogan, the most powerful word is not about America being great; it’s the ‘again’ part."
