The undying contention that every person who voted for President Trump is racist graced CNN’s airwaves this morning.

It’s an argument that’s much better understood when fleshed out beyond the confines of a tweet or protest sign, as CNN allowed it to be today, but nevertheless implicates millions of nonracist people in evil conduct. It’s also an argument well worth understanding as a representative slice of the worldview that dominates academia and bleeds consequently into the media and pop culture.
