You have to think about who race card slinger’s audiences are. It isn’t conservatives or Republicans (not always the same person.) It’s people who voted them into office. Most likely in her (or, possibly zi, zem, zis or some other pronoun) case it was people who believe they are surrounded by, and are being kept down by, racism. The fact that real racism in public life is, for all practical purposes, dead, doesn’t matter. People who have been trained and sensitized will see racism in the fizz off the top of a poured Coke; because it’s white and on top. Seeing racism everywhere you look and being the victim is probably, for those people who so indulge, as much a fashion statement as wearing a tattoo or taking a knee. No amount of logic, no display of facts will sway their opinion. Despite getting an affirmative action job and a loan they can’t pay back they are oppressed. “Power to the people! Fight against The Man!”

everything the Dems do is aimed at their base of hard-core, leftists and racists, but it’s a totally losing proposition in terms of attracting voters outside of that hard-core base. In point of fact, most of what the Dems are doing now is driving out the remaining whites and moderates in their party, as well as being unappealing to the many who have fled both parties to register as Independents or Unaffiliateds.
So, i say, keep up the good work, Dems!
