      couple people were assuring me Chait joking about benefiting from Trump in a closed meeting doesn't have anything to do with his actual positions; that his attack on the left doesn't meaningfully align him with Trump.

      but I knew without looking that he'd cosign the attack on Jeong, which is orchestrated by conservative racists as part of a campaign of terror and intimidation to silence left voices, especially marginalized people.

      I've said this before: open fascism isn't very popular. Fascist narratives of white victimization, and fascist tactics of targeting marginalized people for harassment, are however quite popular—including with nominally liberal ppl like Chait.

      Voluntary membership in the NSDAP never even got close to a majority of Germans The actual thugs breaking windows and shit were an even smaller minority, and widely decried But it was a popular opinion that you could "understand the reasons for their anger"

      right...or to put it another way, anti-Semitism was a good bit more popular in Germany than Nazism, which redounded to the benefit of the Nazis.

      Which of course they knew! It was an intentional strategy - to manipulate people into supporting their bullshit who otherwise never would by making it a choice between them or defending "international Jewry"

      Even Sophie Scholl had to put a fucking disclaimer in her pamphlets "I'm not 'pro-Jew' I'm against crimes against humanity I don't want the Jews to take over I just don't want them put in death camps"

      The same thing you have to do when trying to engage Trumpers now "No, I don't want white people to become a minority in their own communities and wake up in a world they no longer recognize"

          Yeah. Ideally this would happen by racism becoming much less powerful, so "white" became a much less recognizable identity/nexus of power.

          but even, "the whole nation looks more like California" would be a substantial step forward at this point.

          I think Yglesias made a good point that this will not easily happen because whiteness will be redefined as necessary to keep white people in the majority.

          This is a possible outcome, but not a necessary one. Trump is actually working pretty hard to keep people from becoming white. The current GOP has chosen to disenfranchise people rather than trying to move them into its white identity party.

          The South did the same with "N-word lover". Nothing would make abolishionist lose their cool than being acuse of being N word lover. So I am sure many discussion "I am not N- word lover but..."
