Definitely.
The Race card will get played as long is it works. Period!!! It’s effectiveness is simultaneously silly and maddening, though.
We’re trying to have a civilized and fact-based debate and then ‘Bam!! “You’re a racists” comes flying ot at us.
It’s the equivalent of a child placing their hands over their ears and screaming “la-La-La-LaL-La....” so they can’t hear you. It’s an immature claim ...but, again as long as it works as a political weapon it will be played. Hopefully, some cleaver politician will one day be able to disarm the comment....like Reagan was able to disarm Carter by saying, “Well, there you go again.....”
In generarl, the Dems get women voters by claiming the GOP wants to take their birth control, black votes by claiming the GOP is racists, and Hispanic votes by claiming the GOP wants to deport them. These emotional appeals work on the the uniformed voter even though they are absolutely ludicrous.
