I mean, we wouldn't be having these conversations still/again if the election had gone differently, and they clearly need to be had repeatedly and persistently if we have any hope of changing anything. So I guess that's good?
Nonetheless, why is the world of journalism and news covering all of this in this way now, and not during the election? Trump was always Trump, this issue was always a if not the defining issue of his campaign. Yet they let him and his organization run the narrative while they took the bait and talked about emails.
It’s not just blue-collar white people who seem blithely willing to sacrifice economic rationality for racial solidarity. After all, it arguably took a special kind of stupid for upper-middle class suburbanites in high-tax states to support a party that just raised their taxes. (No, this wasn’t a bait-and-switch. The GOP leadership has talked openly about eliminating deductions for state and local taxes since 2014.) Unless, that is, you account for the wages of whiteness.
