    We’ve already seen the playbook, though. His race only matters if he’s not white. His sexuality only matters if it’s not heterosexual. His gender only matters if he’s trans. His religion only matters if it’s not Christian. His politics only matter if he’s not Republican. Source: Last summer’s attempted assassination attempt against Trump.

    But honestly, none of that matters. Most people did not reason themselves into their opinion on this matter (minds were made up before there was any evidence or credible suspect at all), and most of the time you cannot reason people out of an opinion if they did not reason themselves into it. Which sucks. But also, this applies to us all, so hopefully most of us are keeping that in mind.
