FReegards...I appreciate your take on it. I still can’t agree.
The Deplorable name was quickly thought up and tossed out. It was a clear attempt to denigrate us, but not with a lot of thought. It was easy to just pick up and wear proudly.
Agreeing you’re a racist, isn’t something you can sign on to in the same way. There’s no innocent form of racism.
Yes, they tried it with the Tea Party, but the Tea Party was a new group that folks could easily check out.
Conservatives have been thought by some folks to be racists for the long haul.
Thus the Alt-Right title focuses on the sub-set, that doesn’t exist other than in some folk’s minds.
If we agree we are Alt-Right, it will be an agreement that we are Alt-Right and proud of it. It will be an agreement we are racist, and proud of it, in effect saying, “So what!”
We could say laugh about being called deplorable.
We can’t laugh about being called racists.
It’s not the same thing. It will only serve to re-enforce what some folks think already.
We need to out this effort for exactly what it is.
It’s a fraud.
Take care.
FReegards...
