As a resident of Oakland, hell-scapes do exist. It doesn’t sound like Klein has been on International Blvd....at anytime of the day. One of the great ironies Black Lives Matter is that most black people love the police. For every 1 dude denouncing the police, there are 100 people holed up in their apartment not going to school or work because they afraid of the dude denouncing the police. But, leave it to a liberal to think Trump is talking about Beverly Hills and upper Manhattan. The Dems biggest fear is that one day International Blvd in Oakland will actually be a safe street. The simple fact is, when perceived racism goes away, so does the Dems political power. Thats the real fear.
Ezra Klein spent that entire article rehashing ad hominem attacks on Trump. He claimed that Trump described a non-existent American hellscape, and that was pretty much it for new material when the article was allegedly about why for the “first time” Klein was “afraid”.
