Choosing to believe the disquieting truth in favor of the comfortable lie is not something that many are capable of.
The left finds solace in their belief in Mr. Trump's racism in that it allows them a feeling of moral superiority, thus making it easier for them to oppose any action Mr. Trump may take.
More importantly, this belief shields them. Not from the supposed evils of Mr. Trump, though this is what they believe. It shields them from self-realization. By their focus upon Mr. Trump's sins, real or imagined, they are able to more easily rationalize and excuse their own.
