Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images A month ago, President Trump added to his rally speech a new riff about Ilhan Omar, expressing indignation that the Democratic member of Congress would dare to express opinions about American government. “She’s telling us how to run our country,” he sneered. “How did you do where you came from? How’s your country doing? She’s going to tell us — she’s telling us how to run our country.
These conservatives have spent the last four years mostly directing their energies attacking Trump’s opponents or dissecting the flaws in the arguments against him. They are most comfortable discussing something else. Usually, that something else is the excesses of the cultural left. If you read National Review, or Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire, you find them filled with ghastly tales of obnoxious progressives unfairly calling something racist or sexist.
The default position for this brand of anti-anti-Trump conservative was to ignore Trump’s racism when possible, acknowledge and dismiss when necessary. The main subject was always Trump’s critics, but Trump himself would sometimes pop into the field of vision. His worst offenses were subjected to careful parsing.
The editorial contains a healthy mix of criticism and praise for Trump, along with unstinting hostility toward Joe Biden. Most revealingly, while it lashes Trump for a variety of personal and ideological failings, Cooke’s editorial does not scold him for his racism or sexism, even in a single aside.
jonathanchait There is no room for racism anymore
CapehartJ jonathanchait I don’t know if Trump supporters really wrap their minds around this whole issue. Makes me so sad 😞.
CapehartJ jonathanchait
irongirl26 jonathanchait Well that's because they're racists as well who've always had to jeep their racism in check. Now they don't have to
CapehartJ jonathanchait As I watch Trump rally to hear what he’s doing for us he’s asking the news channels to take pictures of the crowd. Me personally I wanted to hear something but all I got was him trying to get ratings and attacking people! This isn’t Presidential anything, just reality TV!
jonathanchait It’s troubling how many of you morons on the left believe this shit. What’s funny is that Biden is actually the racist politician and yet you all just look the other way. Just like no one cares about him assaulting Tara Reade. Enjoy the next 4 years. 😂
jonathanchait Never ends.
jonathanchait If we are fortunate to beat back the deplorables and the Republican party i hope it takes them a decade or two before being trustworthy enough to regain power. Anything less will be a ruse.
CapehartJ jonathanchait I don't they're (KochNetwork CouncilForNationalPolicy) worried about that. tRump worked out as they'd hoped... much better than Reagan. Coup ShadowNetwork (Nelson) TheFamily (Sharlet) ThePowerWorshippers (Stewart) AmericanRule (Sexton) DemocracyInChains (MacLean)
jonathanchait It does not cling to them. It emanates from them. There’s a difference. They always were racist. Trump just made it ok to come out. racism
CapehartJ jonathanchait Great exploration of our unfortunate situation. The stink of racism and white male entitlement *should* forever cling to him and his enablers - it’s up to all of us to ensure that it does.
jonathanchait I mean, c'mon man...
CapehartJ jonathanchait You were doing fine until the “witch hunt” comment. He’s a witch.
CapehartJ jonathanchait For Trump and his supporters, racism is a feature not a bug. It’s why they love him. It’s one of the reasons they are so hard to poll.
jonathanchait One way to hold the enablers accountable is to call them what they are. Republicans are a very rare breed. Today, they must be called, The Trump Nationalist Party.
jonathanchait Which is why anyone left supporting him at this stage is a racist. They may be other things too, but they get to wear all his tags. Racist is where it begins.
jonathanchait It took a pandemic for 35% of Americans to take off the masks [of racism] they were wearing all along. BeBest or as I like to say DoBetter Reach out to a POC and ask how you can do better.
jonathanchait Race IS THE THING on the right. Have you seen their caucus? They don’t have one black member for nothing. Plus, Trump’s racism and awfulness gave them full control of Washington just 4 years ago so why would they change? They know who they represent.
jonathanchait SuburbanWomen aren’t racist but realDonaldTrump is racist
jonathanchait 🤔Couldn’t say it better myself.
SoonerSower jonathanchait Are we going to pretend the republican party hasn't been running on racism since Reagan?
jonathanchait Racism on both sides... Double stinky diapers... Double whammy...
jonathanchait Jack twitter ☝️ see my point... just one example just one of the left being censored 🤬 1
jonathanchait TonyBobulinski BidenCrimeFamiily BidenFamilyCorruption BidenCorruption Trump2020
jonathanchait collaborators is a better term.
jonathanchait His Racial politics doesn’t matter if his policies doesn’t hurt the alleged targeted race. When will liberals listen? I guess never
jonathanchait Jonathan... where do I mail your copy of my book, Coronaville?
cindygallop jonathanchait I certainly hope so.
jonathanchait I will never forget nor forgive.
jonathanchait Trumps racial policies? Do you guys feel you don’t need to be honest in any way? Or you just print whatever garbage the Dems will eat up? There should be a law preventing the shit you guys put out there.
jonathanchait Trump employs every racist dog whistle in the playbook to rile up his base. His enablers are despicable wretches that sat in silence.
jonathanchait
jonathanchait Least racist human in the world
jonathanchait I won’t forget. There’s no shaking hands and having them say sorry, life doesn’t work that no what teachers seem to think when they find a bully with their victim
