I love this:

I don’t know who first made the point that the demand for racism today exceeds the supply, which is why we see things like the Jussie Smollette hoax and countless other campus racism hoaxes. And now Trump has the left’s Default Dog Whistle Racism Detector turned up to 11 with his attacks on cities and districts run chiefly by African-American and Democratic Party machines, because for the left criticism of any non-white politician is off limits.

I have a simple theory: Trump knows what he’s doing. This is the political equivalent of “Crazy Eddie,” the frenetic TV ad pitchman constantly hawking his “insane” sales on electronic goods. In Trump’s case, he’s forcing the left to max out its race card, such that the left’s bankruptcy after Trump’s re-election next year will be epic.

I sustain that the Trump effect was created by this new batch of Democrats who are always playing the victim card. Obama spent a lot of effort turning every problem into an identity politics problem, dividing the population in groups (gays, blacks, women) and telling them that the problems of the small groups were the fault of a big group (white heterosexual men).

In retrospective, this was bound to backfire, because there is just so much trash talk you are going to take from politicians before you explode, and last time I checked, the USA was a white country. Which means the thick of the voting base and the workforce that moves the economy is going to retaliate badly after you bash it politically. A lot of people voted or sympathised Trump not because they agreed with him, but because he is a response to anti heterosexual white politics.
