Letters We Wish We'd Written Dept. -- Safaris To Trumplandia Edition

In this morning's Washington Post (serial curator of Trump voters' exquisite sensibilities and Real Americanism):

Thank you for the incisive front-page, above-the-fold coverage of Alabama evangelical Christians on the same day as the Washington Post Magazine feature about the next generation of Trumpian Republicans. Clearly this is the coverage we benighted elitist Post readers need to remind us that the only relevant Americans are people who are not benighted elitists. 

Would The Post be so kind as to point me to similar coverage of Democratic voters not couched in terms of “Hillary vs. Bernie,” “mainstream vs. insurgent,” or “can the Democrats win with their scabrous attacks on the only relevant Americans”? 

Jeff Porten, Philadelphia

Whether it's the Post or The New York Times, we've all seen enough of these safaris to deep, dark white Trumplandia to last us a lifetime. Media outlets need push- back when they, consciously or not, portray Trump voters as the only ones worthy of consideration and coverage.  We already know what those voters are.

BONUS:  This --

I’m not supposed to say that someone like this is ignorant. I’m supposed to engage with them as if what they said made any sense. I’m not supposed to be condescending to them, and I’m supposed to believe that they’re open to dialogue.
Yeah, no. https://t.co/UVpcXIgb57
