In a fear-mongering commentary that has become typical of the left's post-election hysteria about Donald Trump, the "chief political correspondent" among the radical fantasists at Slate wrote Tuesday that "There’s No Such Thing as a Good Trump Voter."

Again, Jamelle Bouie is the chief political correspondent at Slate, which suggests that his is the most highly regarded and representative political perspective at the entire extremist site. His view on the presidential election is that white supremacists have elevated their cause to the White House and that "state-sanctioned violence" against minorities is imminent.

Disgusted by some analysts' conclusions that Trump's victory was the result of white, working class frustration with and anger toward the media and political elitists, Bouie countered that "[m]illions of Americans are justifiably afraid of what they’ll face under a Trump administration. If any group demands our support and sympathy, it’s these people, not the Americans who backed Trump and his threat of state-sanctioned violence against Hispanic immigrants and Muslim Americans."

Trump, of course, has never threatened or even implied state violence against immigrants and Muslims, but the Progressive strategy is, as usual, simply to demonize him and his supporters as racist, xenophobic, and Islamophobic. It enables them to avoid a rational discussion of such critical concerns as border security, Islamic terrorism, and illegal immigration.

Bouie went on to declare that any American who voted for Trump is morally responsible for ushering a violent racist into the White House even if he or she did so out of purer motives:

Trump campaigned on state repression of disfavored minorities. He gives every sign that he plans to deliver that repression. This will mean disadvantage, immiseration, and violence for real people, people whose “inner pain and fear” were not reckoned worthy of many-thousand-word magazine feature stories. If you voted for Trump, you voted for this, regardless of what you believe about the groups in question. That you have black friends or Latino colleagues, that you think yourself to be tolerant and decent, doesn’t change the fact that you voted for racist policy that may affect, change, or harm their lives. And on that score, your frustration at being labeled a racist doesn’t justify or mitigate the moral weight of your political choice.

[...]

To insist Trump’s backers are good people is... morally grotesque.

Bouie then went on to compare Trump voters to the "gawking, smiling" public crowds at black lynchings over 100 years ago, which is precisely the sort of shameful demonization of decent Americans that contributed to support for Trump. Bouie and the left demand that everyone stop painting minorities with a broad brush, but they insist on smearing all white Americans as racist, xenophobic bigots.

He concludes by fear-mongering that "the next four years will be hard for the Americans [Trump] plans to target," without acknowledging that Trump's targets are not all Muslims and immigrants but jihadists and criminal aliens. But that's an inconvenient truth that the "morally grotesque" Slate and the Progressive left don't want to discuss.
