      This ignores large swing to Trump from under $30K group. Trump fused ethno-supremacy with economic populism. Ignore that at your own peril.

      All the sneering at "economic anxiety"? All the finding of pics of awful racists and labeling it "economic anxiety"? Self-induced blindness.

      Of course there is a resurgence of racism—an explicit nationalism based on ethno-supremacy. HE TIED IT TO ECONOMIC REVIVAL. This is potent.

      "But unemployment numbers are low" people need to look at the kinds of jobs people hold. Their fears for the future. Drive outside a city.

      Anti-racism & protecting vulnerable groups is the priority. I'm an immigrant from Middle East and I work with refugees. I will double down.

      But globalization, de-industrialization and tech-fueled change wiped out stability from large swathes of US. Sneering at this is ridiculous.

      I keep correcting this about Turkey. Erdogan runs a populist government. Expanded the welfare state for groups who felt culturally maligned.

      Trump likely not as talented as Erdogan as a politician. There is no realignment... yet. This is still the country that elected Obama.

      Keep this up & there will be a realignment. Trumpism will create its Erdogan. It's a a global wave. Opposition incompetence big part of it.

      This isn't a call to ignore the obvious and resurgent racism. It's to understand that the committed green frogs are a small minority.

      Stop normalizing the worst of the racists by sneering at very real economic concerns, using totalizing language that lumps it all together.

          Not just because of feelings. Because you will lose. And lose. And lose. Erdogan on his way to fifth election—will win a super-majority.

          Trump tied economic populism to "whitelash". If you want to win, you tie economic justice to anti-racist coalitions.https://twitter.com/CeCe_23Spalding/status/796708510381830144 …

          Yes! Because this is actually massively disabling to our own prospects. If it's a single monolithic bloc, what hope have we?

          but the fact remains that the Trump voter ignored his racist views because he spoke to the econ angst. Can't we point out both?

          Non-racists are extremely offended by Trump's racist views. They are impossible to ignore.

          completely agree. Racism and misogyny played a large part but that and anger driven by inequality won it for him.

          OK can we also stop pretending like people of colour aren't also working class though?

          I'm not pretending any such thing. But how to add more of the white working class to a coalition has to be discussed...

          Can we address the fact that "white working class" is code for racist used specifically to delegitimise anti-racist positions?

          This is the country that elected Obama, and he won sizable white working class vote. Ignore if you want.
