EJ Dionne lays out why Trump's racism and divisiveness are a problem for the country as a whole.
This reflects back on the point from a few days ago, about the ability of student's with right-of-center political beliefs to feel they could be heard. As Dionne lays it out, we should have a vigorous debate over what our country should look like and how we get there. There is a right and left leaning vision for that. That's essentially what politics is: a competition between ideologies.
Trump has upended the entire nature of politics and shut us off from having the debates we need to have. He has also allowed one of our major parties to stain themselves with his filth, as they struggle to appeal to the Trumpist Base.
I have no idea what our politics will look like in 12 years.
