Instead, the goal is to focus on how Trump is using racism to oppress whites. As for individuals, most folks will think it is some other guy who being racist, but at least you call out the con.

It is like watching sleight of hand from street magician. There is no need to make everyone raise their hand and admit that they were tricked. Instead, you just point out that the magician is palming the pea and using misdirection to convince the audience that the pea is under one of the plastic cups. Everyone will convince themselves that they also saw the sleight of hand themselves.
