Metzl, MD, PhD Of late, we’ve heard much about the rise of the politics of “Making America Great Again” in the United States—with the assumption that greatness restores certain white Americans to positions of privilege above persons of color, immigrants, and other marginalized groups. See, e.g., walls, bans, and other structures and policies. Over the past three years I’ve conducted a series of in-depth interviews and focus groups with everyday Americans impacted by core conservative politics and policies in a number of states—and particularly people who live in areas where anxieties about the “decline of white- ness” enter into decisions about public health, healthcare reform and the Affordable Care Act, gun policy, and a number of other issues. These interviews form the core of my exploration of the ways that policies that seem to make America «Great» also dramatically shorten the lifes- pans of the very people that they ostensibly aim to support.
