Asking the Next Question

Writing at The Daily Beast, a Goldie Taylor argues at length about Trump's supposed negative attitudes towards minorities. She concludes with this thought:
Trump is not a fine person. His words Sunday were not racially “charged,” “fueled,” or “tinged.” They were unapologetically racist.

And, if you support him, so are you.
I don't buy what she's selling; I believe Trump's anger wasn't racial but directed at anti-Americanism. Anti-Americanism is always nasty, but especially irritating when exhibited by an immigrant like Rep. Ilhan Omar.

I do expect Taylor believes what she wrote. Now she has to ask herself the question, what does she do if Trump wins reelection, as many expect he will? Does she conclude she lives in an apartheid society? Is it possible she thinks that now, in spite of having a public platform for her views?
