    will never forget/forgive how contentious it was, circa 2015-2016 among the Serious Political Thinkers, to say whiteness played any role in Trump's political appeal and coalition

        oh, the good old days of plausible deniability. It was a more innocent time.

        and especially how taboo it was for "objective" political reporters to suggest this, despite apparent evidence

        I mean, they weren't even able to bring themselves to say the word "lie" so racism was definitely off the table.

        Tell me more. I’m honestly curious on your take. I read your posts, so I agree with a lot, just want to understand this. I’m very pro journalism and feel all media lumped together. Social/cable media is $$$$ making- they sensationalize. But not news outlets.
