      1. All these "Trump is pivoting to Dems" articles in mainstream press really make clear why @tanehisicoates' Atlantic article is necessary

      2. Some people reacted to Coates article by saying "What's new here? We already know Trump's appeal was based on racism." A shallow critique

      3. It's true that there are a minority of analysts (skewing towards POC) who emphasis Trump's racism. But a lot of press still in denial

          4. Trump's core appeal is racist/sexist revanchism. That's too painful a fact for many analysts, so they emphasize other facts.

          It's more that they don't give a fuck. Why should they it's nothing new.

          I think it's more like they feel a need for "balance." If one guy says 2+2=4 and the other says 5, then journalists push 4.5

          I'm sure Pelosi had her legs tightly crossed during Oval Office meeting.
