But I do believe that when I factor all that out, as best I can, we are left with real moral culpability that’s not just a matter of class/culture prejudice. There are crimes against shared humanity here. Remember, plenty of poor working-class whites *didn’t* vote Trump in 2016.

Final meta point. Trump, despite being a rich, white, native-born, is an outsider lolcow in important circles where I, as foreign-born non-rich brown, am an insider. That this can be true is one of the deep, broad resentments Trump was a messenger for. Just acknowledging that.

I guess how important circles is defined is critical here. How are you defining that?

Because Trump was beloved, in every important circle for decades, including pop culture so I’m confused as to what you mean

Not really. He was the laughing stock everywhere. You’re confusing media prominence for acceptance.

Pre-Obama, do you think you had more access/acceptance in rooms than he did?

the point of clarity here, to better understand your point, is what you define to be important circles, insider, and outsider Whether that be acceptance, access, or prominence — material enough to have strong influence
