"For many Democrats and much of the intellectual left, the surge of white nationalism within the GOP is just a more straightforward expression of what the party has been up to since the 1970s. Beginning with Richard Nixon’s “Southern Strategy,” Republicans have been winking and nodding to the darker impulses of the electorate with code words and dog whistles. With Trump, they argue, the hoods have come off.
The GOP’s alliance with hardcore white supremacists is real and old. But this is dangerous thinking. Because Stewart’s political career shows not only that the GOP is a racist party, but that the party has changed, and changed rapidly. As recently as last year, Stewart couldn’t win. Things are in fact getting worse."
