In 2016, white people must take responsibility for Donald Trump
Who did this fellow and others of his ilk demand take responsibility for black violence in Baltimore this past summer?
Ah, yes. White people.
Who provided ideological and moral cover for the rioters?
Blacks like him and their supporters of other races, notably including numerous white liberals.
Who continues to insist the struggle between the two major parties be perceived as about race rather than about class, that the Democrats be seen as an alliance of everybody else against whites, and that the Republicans be seen as the party for whites seeking to retain demographic, political, and cultural majority status?
Who continues to pretend that Hispanics of all races, East and South Asians, and all other minorities align mostly with Democrats because they see politics as a racial struggle and they see themselves as racial allies of American blacks rather than whites?
It's not just the likes of David Duke or, for that matter, Pat Buchanan.
Even people in no hurry to shout "racism" nevertheless buy into it, in the end.
Can right-wing populism be stopped?
Not too many see or are willing to say how far elements of the white working class vote Republican because, as they think, the Democrats and liberal elites have betrayed them economically, politically, and culturally and have scapegoated them for decades not only for every ill besetting minorities in America but for everything else they loathe about the country.
