It is so amazing how many people think Tr*mp can't knowingly use Nazi dog whistles because he also happens to be stupid.

I'd argue that being stupid and being a Nazi go hand in hand.

I also worry about that line of thinking too. Because it gives rise to the Bannons of the world who even major publications fawned over because he happened to be "smart" and thus couldn't be seen as "racist" in the same way, even tho he was just peddling the same bullshit.

True, I suppose what I meant was that there's a kind of willful ignorance that you must intentionally subject yourself to in order to buy into the Nazi/fascist mindset. Even if you're otherwise intelligent.

I've seen it more or less put like this, "all it takes to be racist is to be racist." I think that's always worth remembering.
