"The mythology that the force compelling Americans to support Donald Trump was their economic anxiety a fragile myth already called into doubt repeatedly over the last four years was irrevocably shattered by last week’s raid on the Capitol as Trump beckoned his followers to march. 'White supremacy is central to this,' said Manju Kulkarni, executive director of the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council....
