Every non-liberal leftist -- that is, nearly every Democrat running for president, New York Times and Washington Post columnist, CNN and MSNBC host, and your left-wing brother-in-law -- labels every Trump supporter and, of course, President Donald Trump, a "racist."
And they don't stop there. Leftists don't only label the half of the country that supports the president "racist," they label all whites and America itself "racist." If your son or daughter attends or recently attended an American university, it is close to certain he or she was repeatedly told that America and all whites are racist. According to the left, whites are divided between those who admit they are racist and those who don't admit it.
Every conservative and many liberals know this is a big lie. The great question is: Do leftists believe it? It is impossible to know. But this we do know: If you repeat something often enough, and if your Weltanschauung (worldview) and that which gives your life meaning are dependent upon believing something, you will eventually believe it.
So here is a way to show it is a lie.
Ask any white conservative, including one who supports Trump, the following three questions:
1) Do you have more in common with, and are you personally more comfortable in the company of, a white leftist or a black conservative?
2) Would you rather have nine white leftists or nine black conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court?
3) Would you rather your child marry a black Christian conservative or a white non-Christian liberal?
A white racist would prefer the whites in each case.
I have asked these questions of thousands of Trump supporters at lectures and on my radio show. Not once has a white Trump-supporting conservative said he or she would be more comfortable in the presence of a white leftist than a black conservative, or would prefer an all-white liberal Supreme Court to an all-black conservative Supreme Court. Not once has a white Christian conservative said he or she would prefer their child marry a white non-Christian liberal to a black Christian conservative.
If you're an honest leftist, this should present a powerful challenge to your belief that all white conservatives are racist.
But it won't. Leftists have too much at stake to confront the truth about conservatives. Everything the left has ever believed has depended upon lying about opponents. From the day Stalin labeled Trotsky -- who served as the head of the Red Army and who, along with Lenin, founded the Bolshevik Party -- a "fascist," leftists have lied about their opponents.
Some liberals lie and some conservatives lie, but the truth is both a liberal and conservative value. It has never been a left-wing value. Any leftist who would commit himself to the truth would cease being a leftist. He would either become an anti-left liberal or an anti-left conservative.
"America is racist." "Whites are racist." "Trump supporters are racist." These are all big lies.
So, then, given how important it is to leftists to maintain the lie of conservative racism -- along with xenophobia, misogyny, transphobia and Islamophobia -- how would they rebut conservatives' answers to these questions?
Presumably, they would argue that every conservative who responds to these questions as I described is lying.
But these questions are important -- no matter how much leftists ignore or dismiss them -- because they perform an important service for conservatives.
I know this from Jewish history. There was so much Jew-hatred in the medieval Christian world that Jews sometimes wondered if there was any truth to the attacks on them. When a whole society denigrates a group, members of the denigrated group start wondering whether any of the attacks on them have any truth. But when the charge of blood libel -- that Jews killed Christian children to use their blood to bake matzos for Passover -- arose, it liberated Jews from taking any of the anti-Semites' attacks seriously. Every Jew knew the blood libel was a lie -- Jews never consumed animal blood, let alone human blood.
Every conservative knows his responses to these three questions are heartfelt and true, so these questions can help conservatives come to see the left's charge of conservative racism as medieval Jews came to see the anti-Semites' blood libel charge: as a lie.
Better yet, let's TRUMP the race card.
Tell ‘em: “Hell yeah I’m a rasis’! I really loves me some NASCAR! My faver’t driver is Bubba Wallace in the foty-tree car! I loves me some NASCAR with, ‘specially wif a side of hot wangs and some ice cold beer!”
They’ll try to turn it back on you by saying something innocuos like: “No man, you hate black people.”
You say: “I done tol’t you... Dat thar Bubba Wallace is my faver’t driver, ya mow-ron!”
Keep this up until their gargantuan fat head explodes.
Yes quit defending like Dennis is doing here
and Obama supporters...
A black racist would prefer the blacks in each case.
In-Group Preference is perfectly natural and has served to keep humans safe from outsiders for ions. Anyone that claims it to be a sin is a liar. I am 100% free to prefer my own kind, as is everyone else.
Being a jerk to people that are different from you is incredibly counter-productive. What possible purpose could that serve? If someone has clearly taken no action against people different from themselves, they are innocent of this slander.
No, no, no...."all this racist talk" is the best thing that can happen. Eventually, if a person has even a slight amount of rationality, the constant "racist, racist, racist" refrain with no discernable increase in actual racist behavior will cause serious doubt about the reality of the meme.
It was demonRAT George Wallace that blocked black school kids from entering grade schools and President Eisenhower that sent troops to Little Rock to let the black kids in the schools.
“Leftist and Liberal are political terms that people don’t define uniformly.”
I agree with that and that is my point.
They may be different, in not easy to uniformly define ways, but they’re all part of the Axis.
Here is the interesting thing. A friend of mine (two actually) have always been left wing. Self identified.
Both of them now love Trump, or at least like him a lot.
My friend has said for years he is not liberal, but leftist, for the working class, traditional Laborite.
The has said liberals are the crazy ideologues.
He has always made a distinction like Dennis, but with the exact opposite breakdown.
Yes, I understand fully. You are correct.
One of the most irritating things about the Left is their manipulation of language and symbols, and the fact that we who are not of the Left let them get away with it for so long.
Bill Whittle did an excellent 8 min. video some years back on this called The Power and Danger of Iconography
For too long we have let them define the language...instead of the leftist states being "Red" states, they are "Blue". The rainbow symbol, instead of a covenant from God promising not to drown us, now stands for Sodom and Gomorrah. You can't call black people blacks, you have to call them African Americans...oh wait, now you can call them blacks, no wait...it has to be "People of Color". You can't call a man "he" and a woman "she".
We even let them change the definition of "Liberal" from being conservative, and then, when they were done with that and "liberal" became a perjorative term, they changed it to "Progressive".
Staying one step ahead, or trying too.
Fortunately, we are wise to them, and no longer can let them get away with it and claim ignorance. I guess the Internet can take some credit for that.
“If you take the race card out of the liberal deck, it exposes their losing hands.”
I’m confused, does having no cards left in your hand equal a losing hand or do they have some card other than a race card which I’m not aware of?
The Donald’s right hand doesn’t look all that small to me in that picture.
“A black racist would prefer the blacks in each case.”
You are obviously unenlightened or you ain’t been woke or sumpin’. Black people cannot be racist see, it’s impossible ‘cause dey ain’t got no power. We ain’t never had no black judges or senators or no black millionaires or sports stars or movie stars or such, eben Little Richard was a white man in drag or sumpin’ like dat and we sho ain’t never gonna have no black president, dat’s why dey had to run in dat fake Obama, he ain’t no more black dan a polar bare. Ain’t no sich thang ass a black racis, dey don’t exit.
Africanized American cities represent the rot of America from within
Then they have to play the Green New Deal card, and the Medicare for all card, and the Student Loan forgiveness card, and the Open Border card, ...
That sounds like betting on an eight and a nine in acey duecy.
