![Lyudmila Macy, a white lady
“I think race definitely became more divisive after Barack Obama became the president,” she told us. “He seems like [he] started more focus on the Black people, and I think he created more division.”
Macy was one of several conservatives who told us racism was a prime cause of polarization in their communities — and what they meant was that they see accusations of racism as divisive, not necessarily racism itself.
Macy told us she’s an enthusiastic Trump voter. She thinks the 2020 election was unjust and worries about the 2024 election.
“They did it once. They’ll do it again,” she said. (Contrary to Trump’s claims, there’s no evidence of significant fraud in the 2020 election.)
She sees illegal immigration as her most important issue.
“I am [an] immigrant. I’m totally against illegal immigration,” she said. “I think we should not allow them to be here because they take away jobs from [the] young generation](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:7mjbn64fshkrr6fr5uzeqzrs/bafkreidn4cfikwad6g62pe477fdcehdywa24pc4kpr4hssiavehq5drzvm@jpeg)
![Shonda Morelli, a CBD vendor in Soldotna, a blonde middle aged white lady:
Immigration was also top of mind for Shonda Morelli, whom we met at an outdoor market in Soldotna.
“I know we have immigrants up here,” she said. “They live like queens, kings. They have better things than we do.”
We asked: Do you mean here, in Soldotna? She did not.
“Our little community’s our community. But I have seen it up in Anchorage — or heard about it, I can’t say [I’ve] personally seen it,” she said.
Like Macy, Morelli said she thought accusations of racism had driven a wedge in her community.
“Every time I turn around, I hear ‘racist,’ you know? ‘You’re racist. They’re racist,’” she said. “No one’s racist to me.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:7mjbn64fshkrr6fr5uzeqzrs/bafkreihpqauatmgwfnjpfmypn3okmfpy5ewkzlparfwhbvqohoeab2duxy@jpeg)
