Good points. And they aren't wrong if you look at how the country has changed negatively since Trump brought racism and hatred back.
brought back is a bit generous, if not naive... he heightened it though for sure; created a permission structure.
The notion that Trump brought those things back is part of the exact problem I'm highlighting.
They never went away. America continues to be a deeply racist country, the kind of country that make people like this not only a possibility, but an inevitability.
Sad but true.
