[Dr. Sivana]

Question from the interviewer:

“How do you appeal to these people while still holding onto what you believe in?”

Which Van Ausdel answered with a bromide. Both the questioner and the candidate were comfortable casting the people in the district as "these people", as "other". That's only a step removed from "deplorable".

Imagine being interviewed by a black journalist and phrasing a response with the term “you people”. That sort of “otherness” is no longer considered acceptable.
