      Especially important, I think, is this paragraph about how Trump has shown the effectiveness of "whiteness as an overt political tactic."pic.twitter.com/ObgCZ0Iljs

      We would not have Charlottesville, we would not have the Alt-Right as it currently exists without Trump.

      Trump exposed as an illusion the idea that white supremacist politics is over.

      The article is pretty hopeless in that it doesn't describe any solutions to the problem. But I think a couple can be inferred.

      1. It is a mistake to think Democrats can win by placating the "white working class"—by deriding "political correctness," diversity, etc.

      2. Instead they should build an anti-racist coalition of most non-white voters and white allies. More Obama, less Clinton/Sanders.

      About half of white people and their political representatives implicitly or explicitly support a racial caste system with whites on top.

      It just isn't possible to convert or compromise with these people without selling out PoC. Obama tried his best and got nowhere.

      At this point I don't know what to do other than treat this group as an obstacle that stands in the way of everyone else.

          It's fascinating to me that liberals think we should appeal to white working class on basis of whiteness, rather than on working class-ness.

          the reason they do that is a lot of whites refuse to think of themselves as belonging to a class that includes non-whites

          I say run hard to the left and pass a few constitutional amendments ASAP. But even that's a pipe dream. I want to drink.

          Sanders has highest approval % w/ whites. Trump had highest minority vote in decade amongst R's. Maybe rebuilding the FDR coalition is key?

          FDR coalition is white supremacy just with social democracy instead of financial conservative take so no let's not do that. OK! COOL BYE BYE

          I firmly believe there's a recalcitrant white minority in this country who will not be bargained with or placated. They must be defeated.

          Which group? The alt-right? Then I agree with you. Unfortunately you are just as racist as the alt-right. Replace the term "white straight man" in liberal speeches with "blacks" or "jews" and you got an alt-right speech.
