I'd argue it's both, but as a white progressive it's incredibly easy to underrate/understate how much of a role race plays for a lot of people.

Racism is absolutely fucking rampant in American politics, and democrats/liberals being slightly less racist than the mask-off fascists is a huge problem. Just look at the liberal mainstream's attempt to lionize Charlie Kirk of all people.
