That was my biggest gripe with the article. Otherwise I thought it was refreshing to read such a well-presented argument, regardless of whether or not I agreed with his points.
Back to the issue: the kinds of people Trump seems to be surrounding himself with shows bad judgment, which is very concerning and should not be downplayed. We have many reasons to be wary of his presidency but maybe they're not the ones people shout loudest about.
- JamesBarney 10y agoI think this was exactly Scott's(the author's) point. He thinkd Trump will be a terrible president, just not terribly racist one. And while we focus on all of this dog-whistle, he's secretly a racist BS, we lose focus on the the true ways that he's a bad president. I don't he would have won the election if the focus had been on "is Trump a good president" instead of "is Trump a racist".
