Goodbye, angry white men; hello, "self-loathing electorate"

I think “self-loathing electorate” may hit the bull’s eye. There’s certainly plenty of self-loathing in these here modern United States. Many Americans loathe themselves, and in my experience many of them have good reason to feel that way. It’s not the kind of phrase that seems likely to win a lot of elections, but as a campaign promise, “I will loathe you even more than you loathe yourselves” has the virtues of 1) never having been tried and 2) being true of nearly all elected officials.
