“If you downplay [Trump’s racism] you NORMALIZE him,” Wise writes in the thread. “If you make this about policy, you NORMALIZE him. He is a racist. He is a white nationalist. He is an authoritarian. He and his cult are a threat to the future of the nation and world because of their hatreds. His movement betrays the country’s promise. THAT is the message that will drive turnout. Not debates over marginal tax rates or how we are going to fund schools.”
