6. Historically, racists have only been defeated by being out-and-out defeated. There's no "one weird trick" for solving white supremacy. — PolitiTweet.org

5. Everyone agrees racism is bad (at least nominally). And also an enduring force in US politics (at least nominally). — PolitiTweet.org

4. The actual truth about Trump — he is the result of a white nationalist backlash — doesn't lend itself to obvious policy solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

3. You're a social democrat? Well, Trump is the result of a weak welfare state. Hate cultural liberalism? Trump is a backlash to PC culture. — PolitiTweet.org

@DouthatNYT @jbouie @DamonLinker It's curious that you think accurately characterizing the sources of Trump's appeal is empowering him — PolitiTweet.org

@charlie_simpson @smsaideman oh that's not an excuse. it's infuriating (but in a way, unsurprising) — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidKlion @emptywheel i wish i had been clearer but people willfully ignoring context is not something i'd issue a correction for — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@DavidKlion @emptywheel no it doesn't. it's at the end of a piece that uses the term "far right" to refer to modern right-wing populism — PolitiTweet.org

Obama typically uses his UN speeches to put on his professor hat and discuss his big-picture ideas. This speech is no exception. — PolitiTweet.org

@jeffspross fair! — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@jeffspross Right, so the argument is that there are non-economic strategies for reducing racism. That isn't "the human condition is bad." — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
