American conservatives have - unfortunately - become used to having unsubstantiated accusations hurled at them by the Left. Almost by default, every conservative politician is labeled as a racist, with other mischaracterizations chosen from an expanding grab-bag of insults. Conservatives are frequently seen as ignorant, stupid, xenophobic, misogynistic, or intolerant.
Conservatives will also know that, while the Left claim that Trump is the sole cause of our modern political division, this is not a recent phenomenon. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan were both described as “fascists”, and George W. Bush was regularly referred to as a war-mongering imbecile.
ven while those on the Left appear to look back favorably on conservatives from the past, they only do so when the characters in question have either passed away or can be used to attack new enemies. For example, John McCain was attacked by Democrats as a bumbling and mentally ill incompetent when he faced Barack Obama but was applauded as part of a political post-mortem strategy against Donald Trump.
While this is indicative of the Left’s political panic due to their refusal to understand the rise of Trump, they are also in danger of missing another key detail - their insults exist along a scale. Over time, the Left has moved along this scale, with the regularity and obscene invalidity of extreme language increasing drastically.

The accusations of white supremacy leveled against Trump are demonstrably false, and the associative description of anyone who questions any Leftist policy as equally deplorable is asinine. Regardless of this fact, since the Left cannot continue to use more impactful language, they will resort to casting their net of insults wider and wider.
We are beginning to see this absurdity in our daily lives, where those who do not adhere to the Left’s political demands being frequently and nonchalantly labeled as white supremacists. By applying such an impactful label in such a broad and false manner, the Left will continue to drag us down into a spiraling world where words become meaningless.
Unless they adjust their course - and cease their absurd strategy of accusing every one of their political enemies of being a white supremacist who hates women, the environment, and puppies - they will only continue to dilute the definition of white supremacy, erase the history of the crimes of true white supremacy, and give real white supremacists a second bite at the apple.
On the day when they learn the difference between white supremacists and conservatives, it’ll be too late to apologize.
They tried racist. That didn’t work. Now it’s white supremacist. That won’t work. What’s next?
To paraphrase Karl Popper, (The philosopher of Science)Any theory that explains everything or that is irrefutable, explains nothing.
Is there any Repub who is not a racist or any Dem who is?
We issue black uniforms and all learn to Goose Step to beating drums.
It's 2019. Everybody is a racist and a white supremacist.
The very worst racists and white supremacists are the ones who don't believe that they are racists and white supremacists and accuse others of being racists and white supremacists (ie. the Democrats.)
I may trade my tin foil hat in for a silk white pointy hood and some black shoe polish. /sarcasm
That was probably true in the USA during the 19th century....
We went from deplorables to white supremacists...
Boy, the Dems really know how to pull in those crossovers.
They have truly become destructive to our great country.
I'm trying to figure out what their problem is.
The left breeds hatred.
You. You are their problem.
There’s nothing more “white supremacist” than a bunch of pale lefties believing that people of color can’t succeed without their “benevolent” intervention.
One would think they might at least consider cooling it down a bit. People may just begin to embrace it. I might look pretty snappy in a Hugo Boss outfit with a P-08 in a Sam Browne belt.
“1940’s Germany wasn’t REAL National Socialism...”
I supremely believe you are right
The Founders understood this, a divided nation is a conquered nation. However, our side thinks that finding unity and common ground by capitulating to every demand is the answer. You want a bumpstock ban, done... red flag rules, why not?
Then will you unite with us?
What will we give next, with nothing in return, except more division and more demands.
It is time to stand firmly on the clear words, shall not be infringed.
Capitulation has turned us into a dark country and increased the disunity. Restore us to one nation, Under God.
Where to go?
Embrace ‘White Supremacy’ and ‘White Nationalism.’
After all, that’s where they’re pushing us.
As if anyone on the left would ever eve come think about apologizing, for anything.
Hell... frozen over. Pigs... flying. Even then, the left would never apologize for a single thing.
You mean to tell me that every color of human seeks his own similar features and is inherently racist against every other color except their own??!!?!?!??!??!?!?!?!?!?
