I recall reading the post when it was published, and thought it was very powerful, although I had some quibbles with the details and the tone. I mean, the author was broadly right, sure, but...

Also interesting to recall: The amount of disagreements and personal insults the author got for the piece.

And another: Rensin was let go from Vox shortly after writing the piece for tweeting "If Trump comes to your town, start a riot."

In any case, in retrospect...he nailed it.
