While Trump has long spoken of expanding his base
by appealing to working class Hispanic and Black Americans
— and pundits have touted the prospect of such a “realignment” of non-white voters
— that goal has never been easy to reconcile with the fundamentally xenophobic and racist nature of Trump’s “movement.”

And in his short tenure as Trump’s running mate, Vance
— whose purported working class Appalachian roots the GOP endlessly touts
— has demonstrated just how fully Trump’s politics of resentment and division are at odds with the idea of broadening the GOP.

Indeed, Vance’s personal political journey demonstrates that the exploitation of racial and ethnic divisions, along with misogyny, are central to Trumpism
