59. I don't see what's so "inflammatory" about it

The article just states a depressing FACT - Trump emboldens white terrorists and gives comfort and encouragement to a racist base. And GOP voters are just fine with that. Nothing inflammatory about an article that just says black people have to live with that. I don't want a "broad-based coalition" with people who don't consider Trump's encouragement of racist attacks a priority. 70-some percent of white people supported these racist candidates. A depressing percentage of white people didn't consider that an important enough issue to vote. The rest of us have to LIVE with these people - people who decided they can live with HATE.
