As the brilliant James Baldwin once put it: “I can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do.” When I see that in poll after poll a portion of Trump’s base continues to support his behavior, including on race, I can only conclude that there is no real daylight between Trump and his base. They are part of his racism. When I see the extraordinary hypocrisy of elected officials who either remain silent in the wake of Trump’s continued racist outbursts or who obliquely condemn him, only to in short order return to defending and praising him and supporting his agenda, I see that there is no real daylight between Trump and them either. They too are part of his racism. When you see it this way, you understand the enormity and the profundity of what we are facing. There were enough Americans who were willing to accept Trump’s racism to elect him. There are enough people in Washington willing to accept Trump’s racism to defend him. Not only is Trump racist, the entire architecture of his support is suffused with that racism. Racism is a fundamental component of the Trump presidency. I invite you to join me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter (@CharlesMBlow), or email me at chblow@nytimes.com.

Do you know when the recession began? Do you know how to look it up? Do you know the name of the organization the determines the beginning and ending recession dates? I bet not. Let's begin with when the recession began and who makes this determination. NBER Once you learn this date you can Google the "Omnibus Appropriations Act, 1990" and learn the date of the tax cut which came after the country was already in a recession. By doing these two things you'll learn the gop lied to you for decades. This is who they are. They know their voters will always fall for their lies.
