It is as simple as understanding our species social nature. Humans fear change. The reaction to Obama by the right is the same reaction the religious right in the middle east has had a reaction to in more women demanding equality there. You don't live before your generation, or after you die, so all you know is what you see now.
45 isn't paying for it right now, because he is pandering to white insecurity, knowing that in 50 years whites will be a minority.
The problem with that logic, is that when you look at the history of our nation, we've ALWAYS progressed to more inclusion and diversity. On a global history scale it still remains there is no such thing as pure blood, and our entire species can be traced back to Africa.
The good thing about our species is that we are capable of shedding the fear of change. The bad thing about our species is that we are slow to change.
Saudi Arabia's rulers fear more women demanding equality, in the same way Susan B. Anthony was beaten up for wanting the right to vote.
