Not make <em>peace<\/em> exactly, but at least restrain themselves from expressions of overt hatred and contempt; even, perhaps, politely interact; possibly even open up a dialogue, in which they might <em>amiably<\/em> explain Trump&#8217;s manifest worthlessness to the rabble, rather than toss out the popular baby with the Presidential bathwater.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m loathe to fault such a line of thought &#8212; the fact that such a suggestion is appearing in the <em>Times<\/em> at all is a wondrous sign to ponder. Dialogue is a good thing, and the current trend toward polarization deadly. An exchange of views in which both sides genuinely tried to see things from the other&#8217;s perspective would be a very good thing. One that might even eventually come about. But little in the Krystof piece suggests it will.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing I\u2019ve written since the election has engendered more anger from people who usually agree with me than my periodic assertions that Trump voters are human, too,&#8221; notes Krystof, and the commentary he cites is not lactate with the milk of human kindness. &#8220;\u201cI hate these people. They are stupid and selfish. Screw them. Lose your jobs, sit home and die,\u201d tweets one. \u201cI absolutely despise these people,\u201d tweets another. \u201cTruly the worst of humanity. To hell with every one of them.\u201d Still another: &#8220;\u201cALL Trump voters are racist and deplorable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dear me.<\/p>\n<p>Why drives this reaction? It&#8217;s tempting to ascribe it to the barrage of over a year of relentless invective streaming from the mainstream media. That pre-formed framework of interpretation is almost supernaturally adept at taking any possible item concerning Trump and giving it an acrid twist. Melania frowns?\u00a0\u00a0Proof positive of patriarchal brutalities too obscene to mention (though not to suggest). No Presidential dog? Sure mark of a Nazi lack of empathy, and vicious disdain for &#8220;lesser&#8221; species.<\/p>\n<p>How many people know that Trump was a lifelong Democrat till 2009, even contributing $100,000 to Hillary&#8217;s 2008 campaign? Such items are stuff for the Orwellian Memory Hole. Trump according to media <em>fiat<\/em> is so ultraconservative as to be beyond fascist. Oh, he&#8217;s morally squalid too &#8212; racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, etc.&#8211; but his morals like his politics are not abstract topics to explore but a <em>shofar<\/em> sounded to inflame the tribe not to prayer but to ever more frothing levels of detestation and hatred. Though the metaphor should be reversed: the main function of both is to present a perfect caricature of the wholly unacceptable Other: Trump as the Eternal Jew on which all believers&#8217; hatred and frustrations may be dumped.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to say this is mere cynical manipulation on the part of Democrats, but I regret to say it more and more strikes me as some sociological phenomenon probably related to diversity; the more societies experience the latter, the more sub-groups crystallize a tendency to demonize other such groups. Easy enough to see this in others. \u00a0But experience it personally, and the Demonic twists into the Angelic with the smoothness of fine cream. Nazi hatred of The Jew is vile and base; Puritan hatred of The Witch is mad and perverted; Klan hatred of The Nigger is despicable and psychopathic; ah, but liberal hatred of The Donald is righteous, sweet and just &#8212; provided you give yourself up to it whole-heartedly and regularly affirm your faith before nodding fellow brethren in the enchanted circle. One or two of the brethren may not give themselves up <em>quite<\/em> so entirely, but the virus suffuses mainstream media like alien spores permeate <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Invasion_of_the_Body_Snatchers\"><em>Invasion Of The Body Snatchers<\/em><\/a>. When the message streams forth from the <em>Times<\/em> in the morning, NPR at lunch, the BBC at dinner, and CNN at night, you hesitate: the bubble of information is so tightly enclosed, so uniform, so seamless, what else can one think?<\/p>\n<p>Krystof, regrettably, is of the Pod People too. The revelatory line is: &#8220;To win over Trump voters isn\u2019t normalizing extremism, but a strategy to combat it.&#8221; In short: an attempt at manipulation, not understanding. Not that this is necessarily to be despised. To put your policies into effect you either need to win over others or stamp on them with a jackboot. The longing for jackboots, like Lucas&#8217; The Force, is strong among the the liberal left at the moment, but they are the <em>liberal<\/em> left, after all, and much more inclined to merely toss around revolutionary verbiage and write letters to Congresswomen who vote left anyway, than follow through with Molotov cocktails; on top of which they simply don&#8217;t have the Army, Navy, Marines, police, gun owners, etc. That leaves only persuasion. \u00a0And you can&#8217;t persuade people you regularly insult. One must gird oneself; one must approach them and&#8230; <i>\u00a0<\/i><em>smile.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The problem is, the author inadvertently shows how tough even <em>this<\/em> is to do when he goes on to say things like, &#8220;Trump\u2019s craziness is proving infectious, making Democrats crazy with rage that actually impedes a progressive agenda,&#8221; and &#8220;Trump won working-class voters \u2014 because he at least faked empathy for struggling workers.&#8221;\u200b Crazy old Trump may be able to fake empathy, but sane <em>Times<\/em> editorialists can&#8217;t quite manage it: apparently the parent-to-child talk with benighted <em>Trumpistas<\/em> is to begin by reassuring all concerned that Trump is insane and without human feeling. That really sets things up for a friendly discussion, doesn&#8217;t it? The author rightly says that &#8220;The vilification of these voters is a gift to Trump,&#8221; but can&#8217;t even grasp that the vilification of Trump is no gift to them.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>Sad omen, but prophetic. To ask the opponents of Trump to restrain themselves from such vilification is to ask too much; lips flecked\u00a0with spittle, bawling Ahab&#8217;s last words to Moby Dick &#8212; <em>&#8220;&#8230; from hell\u2019s heart I stab at thee; for hate\u2019s sake I spit my last breath at thee&#8221;<\/em> &#8211;\u200b they would rather the entire ship go down than not throw one last spear into the White Nationalist Whale.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bSo&#8230; nice sentiment, Nicholas, but the Great Liberal Crack-Up\u200b continues to loom; the only question is whether Bernie&#8217;s socialists go down with the ship too, or, like Ishmael, bob up to the surface afterwards, and swim to newer shores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discussion of New York Times Op-Ed Columnist Nicholas Krystof&#8217;s short piece:  &#8220;My Most Unpopular Idea: Be Nice to Trump Voters&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8306,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[15,14,16,17],"class_list":["post-8305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","tag-new-york-times","tag-nicholas-krystof","tag-op-ed","tag-trump-voters"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
