Scott Adams On The Charlottesville / "Very Fine People" Hoax

With some brief comments on the other "Trump is a racist!" hoaxes.
I've made many of these points here in the past.
   Trump speaks imprecisely. 'Sloppily' might be a better term. Painfully sloppily. La Resistance is always on the lookout for any sign of racism...and for anything they can twist so as to make it falsely seem racist. Accusations of prejudice are the coin of the realm on the contemporary left--and truth isn't a terribly significant desideratum. It would be bad if Trump said racist things. It's also bad that the left incautiously--and often intentionally--twists what he says in order to make it falsely seem racist. It's despicable to, inter alia, trick nonwhites into believing that the POTUS is racist. But sowing fear is one of their main tactics. We see it at work in the climate debate as well. Their point is to terrify people in order to suppress dissent and convince people to rush headlong toward progressive policies. The right does this sort of thing too, of course. They did it with respect to Gulf War Episode II: The Phantom Menace. And, in general, they tend to do it with respect to Islam. This tactic isn't any more common on the left than on the right, I'd say.
   Anyway: Adams is right.
   And none of the allegations about Trump saying racist things has ever worked out when the details have been honestly examined.
