Sometimes big political developments arrive in the country like Sandburg’s fog, on little cat feet, silent and unnoticed until they envelop the nation. The emergence of Donald Trump four years ago is an example. Though a loud and clamorous candidate, he seemed to many like a kind of political clown destined for defeat. Establishment politicians believed almost to a person that the “blue wall” of Democratic electoral dominance would hold against this guy. The Midwest would stay solid, and Hillary Clinton would win the presidency.

From what I can observe, it's whatever the left say it is, and as such, they can all go to hell.

What is it ? A scam. Emotional blackmail, but still, a scam.

The author asks a question about a term that doesn't seem to have a clear definition and then goes on to explain how the vagueness allows the "deplorables" to be targeted. Good, so far.
Then he ends up with a conclusion pulled from thin air: "Trump's is a failed presidency". Where'd that come from? Illogical. Something left on the editor's floor? Vagueness of a different type!

Once again the Left is projecting. It is the Left that has built systemic racism with affirmative action, welfare, child subsidies and automatic grade advancement. It is the Left, especially the radical black Left, that has built systemic racism targeted at white people. The black political elites have kept fellow blacks down in ghettos that have become shooting galleries. The "blame whitey" canard doesn't have the history of the original systemic racism practiced by the Democrat's KKK prior to the 1960's. Our country has come a long way, obviously too long to keep up the black victim card. The Marxists are using race to guilt white people in assuming the same public humility and debasement the blacks complained about the whites doing pre 1960's. Its the American twist on Mao's Cultural Revolution. I saw the video of that idiot white woman getting on her knees in front of that radical black man. It was disgusting, on the part of both the man and the woman. I'll believe black lives matter when something is done about the thousands slaughtered every year by other blacks.

Something that was eliminated in the 1950s, so has not existed in this country in 605 to 70 years.

What is systemic racism is a myth, a fairy tale and a raging lie. Play the game and participate with the vendors at your peril. They will hate you for playing their game and lying their lie. And, they'd hate you anyway.

The only "systemic" racism that I know of is affirmative action.

Cultural Marxism. We weren't buying the economic form of it. This is what happens when universities create departments with names ending in "studies."

Trump is not a failed presidency. I enjoyed the article until I read that nonsense.
