A couple of very long years ago, 62.9 million Americans voted to make a racist reality star — who, by his own account, had no experience at governing, but plenty at groping random married women — their president. By the time these votes were cast, Donald Trump had called for banning all Muslims from the United States, led a movement contesting the first black president’s legitimacy, insinuated that the bulk of Mexican-Americans were drug dealers or rapists, praised his supporters for assaulting (nonwhite) protesters, and vowed to subject each and every one of America’s 11 million undocumented immigrants, including those brought to the U.S. as children, to deportation.
Nevertheless, 46 percent of the U.S. electorate thought him worthier of the White House than a former senator and secretary of State (who just happened to be the first major-party nominee with the kind of genitalia that Trump boasted about grabbing).
For many liberals, it is difficult to reconcile this set of facts with a magnanimous view of their Trump-voting compatriots. And it is harder still to hear nonpartisan political analysts — and even some putatively progressive pundits — attribute the demagogue’s victory to motives as innocent as “economic anxiety,” or even to his opponent’s failures of empathy. As if Republican voters’ decision to rally behind a self-professed pussy-grabber had somehow discredited Hillary Clinton’s suggestion that there were “deplorables” among them. For decades, progressives had been begging the mainstream media to acknowledge the centrality of racial animus and misogyny to the GOP’s appeal. Now, the party had traded its dog whistle for a foghorn; “self deportation” for a Muslim ban; and the patriarchy’s polite, paternalistic superego for its bawdy, hateful id. The mask was off. The unsightly (and oddly orange) face of reaction fully exposed.

The Dems are headed into a buzzsaw next November... Up and down the ballot.
Trump will not only win handily, and by the largest marge since Reagan, unless the GOP is beyond stupid (and given the behavior of folks like Romney and others, that’s always a possibility) the GOP should retake the house, and gain more seats in the Senate as well.
Let’s google his comments on Bill Clinton’s RAPEs
Oh wait- he has none?
Now go suck your thumb for another 6 years and be quiet.
What a load of fanciful crap.
the first black president’s legitimacy

Obama is not a natural born citizen.
No one born with multiple nationalities is one.
It worked out!
That is/was one of the worse anti Trump bs articles posted on FR!

Didn’t get past the first sentence. I refuse to read such excrement.
A cavalcade of slanderous lies.
About par for the NYTimes.
How much of this is psychiatric delusion, and how much is sociopathic/psychopathic connivance?
You’re right - the whole piece is so stupid it takes a person breath away... We are blessed that the people who hate us are this stupid. They will lose again and not have a clue why it’s happening.
Here’s a quote pulled from this garbage by Eric Levitz - one on many that could have been pulled :
____________________________________-
“Donald Trump is an immensely unpopular president. The less distance there is in the popular imagination between his illiberalism and extremity and the Republican Party’s, the better off Team Blue will be.”
_________________________
Here’s the truth: Rasmussen has the popularity of Obama and Trump AT THE SAME TIME IN THEIR PRESIDENCIES - at exactly the same place:
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/prez_track_apr22
April 22 2019 Trump’s approval rating - 47%
April 22 2011 Obama’s approval rating - 47%
The butthurt is strong in young Eric, here.
Piled on a lot of bald-faced lies right in the 1st paragraph.
Imagine, this rag is called the “Intelligencer”!! Ha ha ha. Total reflection. I know people that believe this. Most of the people I know, even the more progressive one will be infuriated like me.
What a bunch of hateful bigots.
Eric Levitz
An entire army of straw men.
Deportation, he said? I'm surprised the writer did not say extermination. What a nut case!
I’ll bet his boyfriend really loves him!
Nice! We all know what happened with Obama the following year.
