OVER the course of this campaign, I have heard from many people who have cheered my opposition to Donald Trump. Trump has consistently expressed himself — in word and deed —in ways that can only be described as racist. Finally, Trump has expressed impatience and contempt for many of the foundations of liberal democracy. He has compared his ideas to the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War 2, implying that he approved of that measure. These, then, are the core views of Trump, expressed over decades, and confirmed by many of his actions: racism, sexism, protectionism, xenophobia, and authoritarianism.
