Long White Con: The Biggest Score of his Life (2011) by Iceberg Slim, describes the well-known fact that a mark must be at least slightly greedy, to fall for the con.

U.S. voters have been the subject of a great con job, the apparent promise that the White faithful shall get their birthright, that White men shall have good-paying jobs, White women will be able to stay home and have White babies, that immigrants of color will be held back from White neighborhoods, and we will all be able to pretend, temporarily, that this is a White nation, from sea to sea, like the olden days.

Alas, it is already quite clear that a clown has been re-elected; he has no vision except to install his buddies in a clown cabinet, and plot revenge against his enemies; and Congress is locked into the same pattern of political favor-mongering, with no concern for the lives of the people.
