How linking another article, one that overtly plays with the themes of victimized whiteness I just described, contradicts anything I mentioned is a mystery. It's just another example from another source of people saying those things. Saying them in the mainstream..rather than the fringes of radical supremacy. That's kindof the issue, to begin with. The message works, it resonates, politicians are by nature panderers and they can't afford to ignore it...while, on the other hand, simply pointing out that the deplorabros exist and are deplorable is political suicide, lol. Seems like the scales might be a little bit tilted.
The short version of a long story here, for the democrat types of the boards dreaming of a broader coalition of voters that poaches some of the republicans base.....is that the candidate who can express those narratives in the most socially acceptable way is going to have an advantage. In truth, every candidate gets as close to the line as they can at some point. That much isn't new. Pandering to overt and latent white supremacy is as old as america.
There will be no meaningful denunciation of the themes that contributed to trumps election even if trump manages to survive to election time and then gets voted out.
This is why I keep thinking that you are a poe who is really a Republican. Too many memes, too little reason.
