Good. Not to be rude, I read your whole response, I think it is oversimplifying things. States rights can be about a lot of things... a certain independence from Washington for example. Or about taxes or regulations or policies on soy beans or whatever, sure bad stuff too. But to just say "if you advocate for states' rights, your motives are nefarious" is just not a good point to make. And neither is "it's about owning black folks", that is just polemic and untrue.
And that would be my point. Many folks, and imho with all the merit of the world, blame Trump for making polemic and untrue statements and radicalizing white folks. I doubt the answer to that is to make polemic and untrue statements and radicalize minorities.
And if the answer to that remark would be "but Trump is way worse", then it's thin.
