I particularly enjoyed that , while everyone else panicked at the receipt of their messages , the main character was constantly waiting for his message . It started with uncertainty and anxiety , but by the end the message was a comfort and relief . Fantastic transition between the two . <| sep |> I woke up to my wife blaring Christmas music and already putting up the tree . <| sep |> Thanks everyone . Got it done ! <| sep |> A Most white nationalists are not members of white nationalist groups , so that seems a pretty inaccurate way of measuring their size . B Racist attitudes are not limited to white nationalists , which makes the measurement even worse . The problem with the Trump campaign wasn ' t just that he was supported by cardcarrying Nazis Ron Paul ' s was too , but he ' s not presidentelect . The biggest problem was that he spoke to the bigotry that average white Americans have . These are views that they know they shouldn ' t express to pollsters . I ' m kind of shocked that the author has never heard of the Halo Effect . That ' s something they really should of heard of before they started writing this essay . C Saying he ' s said some nice things about the food of people of color , so his campaign isn ' t racist is the height of absurdity . It ' s almost common knowledge that white nationalists often claim their policies benefit nonwhites . Anyone even remotely familiar with farright ideologies should know this and again , this author should ' ve been familiar with that subject before they started typing . D David Duke ' s campaign was horribly managed , and thus can ' t at all be used to predict attitudes in Louisiana , much less the rest of the country . When he DID put together a competitive campaign , he won a majority of white voters . Again , how on God ' s green earth did the author not know this ? E The author can ' t grasp their head around the idea that X can be an explicit white supremacist while X ' s followers are not explicit about their white supremacy . F The problem was the time it took to condemn Duke and the lack of energy with which he did it . He knew his supporters care less about a neoNazi than Rosie O ' Donnell , so he devotes a disproportionate amount of time and rhetorical energy condemning the later . G Is the Communist Party really as much of a concern as violent white supremacy ? Not a fan of that particular party of genocidedenying asswipes , but I ' m pretty sure gulags , hate crimes against the bourgeoisie , and mass deportation to Siberia aren ' t the main concerns in 2016 America . The overlap between Clinton and the CPUSA consists of some stuff that many Americans support , such as programs to reduce poverty and protect our air and water . The overlap between Trump and the KKK is much more concerning , and involves banning certain religions , rounding up suspected undocumented immigrants , and profiling black men . H The author confuses a person ' s financial situation with their perceived financial situation . There was a famous survey in which more people wanted to be the richest person in a poor neighborhood instead of a pretty successful person in a neighborhood of rich people . Rich , white frat boys complain all the time that people of color get better jobs , so is the author suggesting that Ivy League fraternities are financially disadvantaged ? Another example , manufacturing jobs have actually increased under Obama , partially as a result of saving the auto industry . But if you believe a lot of white workers who do these jobs , their quality of life is going down . I But do you see how there ' s a difference between ' cognitive bias that makes you unreasonably afraid ' versus ' white supremacy '? OK , so the author has no earthly idea what white supremacy is . Good to know . Seriously , white supremacy isn ' t evil villains twirling their mustaches . The very idea of race is a cognitive bias the ideas of racial separatism and supremacy even more so . J Did the author call violent racists attacking a homeless man protestors ? Did that just happen ? Seriously , breaking windows and breaking bones are not on the same moral level . K People ask ' How could Trump believe the wacky conspiracy theory that Obama was born in Kenya , if he wasn ' t racist ? ' I don ' t know . How could Trump believe the wacky conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism ? Trump will apparently believe anything for any reason , especially about his political opponents . If I may make some changesPeople ask ' How could Hitler believe the wacky conspiracy theory that Jews rule the world , if he wasn ' t racist ? I don ' t know . How could he believe the socialists were secret Stalin supporters and spies ? Hitler will apparently believe anything for any reason , especially about his political opponents . The author is essentially saying that X and X ' s campaign are not racist if X believes in other , nonracist conspiracies also . L Likewise , how could Trump insult a Mexican judge just for being Mexican ? I don ' t know . How could Trump insult a disabled reporter just for being disabled ? Yes , because we all know racism and bigotry against the disabled never intersect . Is this guy for real ? M I work in mental health . I really , really hope the author is lying . Gaslighting your patients is never a good idea . N it seems really relevant that Trump denounced North Carolina ' s antitransgender bathroom lawHey , have you heard of this dude called Mike Pence ? May want to check him out . O Vox writes about the fiveyearold child who asks ' Is Donald Trump a bad person ? Because I heard that if he becomes president , all the black and brown people have to leave and we ' re going to become slaves . ' If the author actually retained information from the reports of racial harassment by both kids and adults , the author may consider the possibility that kids whose parents voted Trump told that child that . The fact that the author didn ' t even suggest that possibility shows a stunning lack of imagination . So yeah , shitty essay that essentially suggests that any one who isn ' t white , straight , cisgenedered , ablebodied , and Christian is just imagining the bigotry that effects them and their loved ones . Please try again .
