      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.

      Can't Trump be both racist and trying to pivot to Dems?

      Sure, but one is core to his identity and one is a temporary tactic.

      I agree it's a tactic, but Trump has also spent much of his life as both a deplorable and a Democrat

      Well, it used to be fairly easy until recently to be a Democrat & white nationalist. But I think the two are now in tension.

      Trump's racism makes it hard for him to work with Dems except on issues like the debt ceiling (which can be seen as beyond politics).

          The problem here is that Trump isn't competent enough to downplay or hide this in an effort to win political victories and stay in office.

          Funny how DTs sexism dropped out of this thread. D's are arguably the women's party. No he is not a Dem.

          Aren't we overeading it even as a "tactical" move. Plausible hypo consistent with Trump personality is it was pure ego, impulsive, ad hoc.
