    Important point from @ThePlumLineGS: Yes, Trump is the white president but he's also meeting historic resistance:https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2017/09/10/whose-white-president/?utm_term=.9aee010873d5 …

        He's meeting greater resistance than Taft, even. But with Taft, it was a different kind of resistance.

        Not really. It doesn't compare to what Nixon got. When white people are burning ICE files all over we can talk about "historic resistance"

        Bad poll numbers are not "resistance"

        I'm so glad Coates' essay is getting the respect it so deserves.

        Vast majority of whites. His poll ratings among whites are irrelevant. He won 58% of whites in 2016 and will do the same in 2020 if he runs

        But much of that resistance has to do w/ other disgusting but nonracial traits, such as misogyny, anti science, willful incompetence, etc.

        Good point, but here's why that is not comforting: He met historic resistance during the election as well and is still president.

        Coates chronically underestimates how deeply divided whites are.
