(Given the extreme sensitivity for "systemic racism," today's leftists might well put patriots on "whitelists.")

The New York Times would be expected to encourage  a probe of "Trump and Trumpism."  More than four years ago, in an August 2016 editorial envisioning a Hillary Clinton presidential victory, the paper indicated that "the toxic effects of Trumpism will have to be addressed."
