His argument is laced with some pretty hysterical jokes, like people who think they're better than George Washington because they have a gay friend and GW didn't. As he said, if GW were alive today, he'd probably have gay friends and if the people today were alive back then they wouldn't.
Yes this is a thought exercise few of us are capable of, without divorcing from reality and making ourselves the star of our own virtue play.
If you want to know who among us would have been psychologically predisposed to go along with any given historical hatred-based social more, you just have to observe the millions of people who were all-in with the hatred of Trump supporters. You can lump in those who are all-in with hatred of any given racial class as well, if you can find them. How eagerly one takes to socially encouraged hatred, says everything you need to know about whether they'd have passed any given historical test.
