When racist Trumpist white nationalist rhetoric gets distilled into desired policy, what else is there besides changes to race-based preferences in admissions & changes to immigration?
It seems like Andreessen supports Trump's entire racial platform, just not the rhetoric that Trump's MAGA base uses.
- SpicyLemonZest 1y agoI think you're distilling too much if you lose the distinction between the people who don't want race-conscious admissions and the people who want to repeal the Civil Rights Act, even if the second group isn't getting their way.
- judahmeek 1y agoExcept Trump never supported repealing the Civil Rights Act, so you're trying to use a straw-man that's too extreme even for him. Also, you're ignoring that Andreessen opposes immigration in addition to race-conscious admissions[0]. 0: https://www.thebulwark.com/p/marc-andreesen-and-the-billionaire https://www.thebulwark.com/p/marc-andreesen-and-the-billiona...
