A message for Trump critics: spurious attacks that are easily proved false to anyone but the party base don’t win support for your side. For instance, progressive identitarians want low-information Democrats to believe the Trump administration is racist and homophobic, with progressive media backing up their narrative. But the truth will out.
T. Becket Adams responded to a Washington Post op-ed:
The Secretaries of State and Labor are Latinos, the HUD secretary is black, the DNI is a female Pacific Islander, the Treasury Secretary is gay, the education, Ag, & DHS secretaries are women, as are the AG, chief of staff, and head of Small Biz Admin.
