(7,468 posts)1. A reverse slippery slope argument?
It's maybe a bit alarmist.
Trump is a modern racist. Gone are the white sheets and torches and explicit threats. What we have now are dog whistles and a bunch of rhetoric that sounds like some of the milder statements your full-on racist uncle would say.

into deadly violence among supremacists in the U.S., Europe and places like Myanmar and India.
