Trump made a direct appeal to racists and other people of backward sensibilities in this country and it worked. The challenge is not to pacify them, play politics with them, or find a way to forgive them. The challenge is to make it abundantly clear what they are about and isolate them. This may mean deepening the divisions and burning some bridges along the way.

In an attempt to steelman SteveG's position I generalized the argument and made the assertion that this element of the Liberal Democratic strategy to defeat Trump was not only counter-productive, but extremely stupid. I also expanded the scope of SteveG's argument away from simply religion but to all the views that might be held by those in Hillary's "basket of deplorables." glen wishes to 'discuss' my assertion.
