      So here’s my current question: as folks like @sethdmichaels have noted, the conceit that telling folks that something Trump (or anyone else) said was racist would “turn off” voters doesn’t seem to apply voters who also endure racism and racist attacks. Why?

      What are non-white voters supposed to do here, non-white voters for whom racism is not just a bread-and-butter issue, but enmeshed within all of the other ones (from healthcare to the economy)?

      As always, this is a genuine, good-faith question about which I am genuinely curious.

      I don't have an answer but @BenjySarlin tweeted some stuff last year that maybe he could expound on. He said something about white middle America seeing the culture change so fast (e.g. gay marriage) that they're worried about suddenly being bigots w/o even a chance to adjust?

      That is, some form of feeling suddenly 'canceled' because a conversation that moved so fast you didn't even participate in it left you behind. It makes them feel, idk exactly--Benjy did the interviews and I'd be interested if this is at all relevant.

      The speed with which even people with solidly progressive credentials & education get abruptly declared Problematic is terrifying, all the moreso to people not acculturated in the Byzantine world of academic intersectionality. It's like Sam Gamgee dining at Downton.

      But again, that doesn’t answer my question about outreach or concerns about “turning off” black voters.

      Where @baseballcrank is right is that blue collar whites are considered the only persuadable voters in 2020. Where @cjane87 is on the right track is that this is the result of a decision made by Republicans in 2015-16 to give up on minority outreach for a generation.

      Specifically, by 40% of Republican primary voters.

      And then another 40% + went along with it to own the libs. It’s one of the most deeply disappointing moments in my life. Republicans could have been better than this.

      Once he had the nomination, there were no good choices. I blame nobody for what they did in November. Hillary winning was an equally bad choice.

          I will never accept that Hillary was an equally bad choice and for evidence I would point to every single day since the day Trump announced until 10 seconds ago. But I take issue with the premise of Jane's question.

          As I wrote a while back, what works for Trump does not work outside of Trump world. There's Trump and his base, and then there are normal people who are disgusted by racism. But if you label *all* of them racists indifferently, then you needlessly tank a coalition.

          This tweet reveals a lot of contempt for people of color. The choice in 2016 was between a standard lousy politician and a white supremacist and to say that these are equally bad options is to disregard POC.

          Equally bad how? Mitch wasn’t gonna let her do anything. Judges, healthcare, nothing was getting through him and y’all still act like HRC was gonna somehow destroy America. It’s not even close man, come on.
