When this strange and troubled period in American history is studied, there will be a handful of writers who will be required reading. Michael Gerson will be one.

TY ⁦Michael Gerson⁩ for naming what so many others want to ignore or dismiss: the dangerous, evil racism that has shaped US history & shoots through today’s ⁦GOP⁩. Silence now is complicity. Grateful for you speaking out forcefully & continually. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

🧵One of the things I appreciate about Michael Gerson as a columnist is his willingness to be candid about the way his thinking has shifted over time—as he is in this Washington Post Opinions op-ed.

“In MAGA world, the incitement of white grievance is the strategy. Such appeals are inseparable from racism. And they reopen a wound that nearly killed the patient before. It is politics at its most pernicious.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

“Even using the language and argumentation of the playground, Trump does his damage. He implies that the institutions of American government are and should be White dominated… He encourages the idea that minorities are aggressors against Whites.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

The MAGA faithful’s resentments, malevolence and violence are a form of moral ruin, Michael Gerson writes.

“This is not the kind of reputation to be dented by political attacks or internet rumors. It is a legacy praised each day by the chorus of millions of breaths that would otherwise be silent. A vast chorus of the nearly lost.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

“It has been said that when you choose your community, you choose your character. Strangely, evangelicals have broadly chosen the company of Trump supporters who deny any role for character in politics and define any useful villainy as virtue.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

.@RonDeSantisFL often reminds me of the high school bully who gleefully throws the weak kids against the lockers to get a laugh from his posse.
I wonder how the Venezuelan community in Florida feels about the way he used and abused those men, women and children this week?
