How did Trump get branded as a racist in the first place? I’ve never heard him say anything racist. He said Mexico is sending us rapists, but he never said all Mexicans are rapists, and “Mexican” isn’t a race, anyway. “Muslim” isn’t a race.

I think any white person who doesn’t openly express hatred of his own race and cheer its dispossession is now a “racist.”

That is a little curious, isn't it? I think it's a triumph of narrative over fact, the same way a fellow who married two of them can be described as "anti-immigrant" or whose daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren are Jewish can be described as anti-Semitic. He is because the narrative requires it, and never mind the facts.

He's white, there's that, and according to the more fervent advocates of Critical Race Theory, all white people are, ipso facto racist. That's sort of a skinny intellectual reed to lean on, but nobody ever said these people were bright.

Even white people who openly hate themselves, all whites, freedom, Christianity, and America are racist. To the new liberals world order, the definition of “racist” only references your skin color, not your beliefs.

Basically.
