General Discussion

I find it hard to believe that I am reading this here. How common is this sentiment among Democrats?

The MAGA is a white nationalism movement, clearly, undeniably. Give that, l would expect far more discussion about racism than we see, especially among those who are supposedly opposed to MAGA. Instead, we see less than in the past, including in the 1960s and even back in the 1850s.

We have seen a huge increase in the complaints that there is "too much talk about racism." We have seen a huge increase in phony victimhood - "they called me a racist!" Oh, the horror.

We have also see an increase in calls from Democrats to abandon various people and positions for fear that support for those people and positions "turns people away." Talk about an excuse!

Black people can support racist polities, just as women as support misogynistic politics. The idea that the Republicans can't be racist because some Black people vote for Republicans is itself a racist right wing talking point.
