“...the only issues that really matter to liberals are race, sex, and religious affiliation....”
No so much that it “matters” as much as it is something to drive a wedge and USE.
Look up communist tactics using minorities - this is what they do, and have done.
They use it because they play on the fundamental decency of the American people (most of us, anyway) - that part of us that believes EVERYBODY deserves a “fair shot” at being part of the American Dream.
They twisted it to mean “fair SHARE” of the fruits of YOUR labor.
Cantor lost his primary because he supported ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and giving these invaders amnesty.
Giving them amnesty means rewarding them for breaking the law, thereby slapping in the face EVERY American who lives his life trying to abide by the laws - even when some of the laws are ridiculous.
People DO NOT want it. And the primaries are showing it.
The fact that the Dems have to pull out the race/gender/religious playbook is just SOP for them when they’re losing.
Exactly,
while on that subject the Dems have used any personal attacks on Obama, especially the ones about his citizenship, validity, honesty (’liar’), along with their with claims that Obama proposes GOP ideas (Obamacare) and the GOP rejects them now just because they hate him, to create a narrative to non-whites that Republicans, especially conservatives, hate and oppose Obama personally because he is black.
The purpose is to rally the non-whites to get out and vote, vote against GOP.
So now when a conservative calls him ‘lawless’ over something Obama really does that is lawless, they tell minorities that its just more of their refusing to accepting his legitimacy.
That is them doing what I mentioned to GOPinMA a week or so ago :”Using your enemies aggressiveness against them”
