...With apologies to Reggie Jackson, Trump is the straw that stirs the drink.
Where you stand on him is the key organizing principle of our time. If he is for it and you are against him, you must be against his policies even if you previously supported them.Or, more accurately, you must be for the polar opposite of his policies.
Because he is for border control, Dems now support open borders and sanctuary cities.
Because his initial appeal was largely to white working-class voters who felt betrayed by both parties, and because he sometimes inflames racial matters, the left moves so sharply in the opposite direction that some of their ideas sound anti-white.
The increased frequency with which the “racist” tag is thrown around is one manifestation, with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggesting that even Speaker Nancy Pelosi is guilty. Another is that Rep. Ilhan Omar can give an interview where she says that America should be more fearful of “white men” than Islamic terrorism — and the left defends her as being misunderstood.
Indeed, as I wrote last week, the Mueller hearing was the latest example of how hatred of Trump leads his enemies to do really stupid stuff. Fixated on showing they are morally superior, they swing so far to make their case that they seem to be on another planet. They even want to undo economic polices that have created record-low unemployment for black and Hispanic Americans.
Having gone to foolish extremes with Mueller and impeachment, they are now ready to repeat the mistake with race.
