re: #180 Single-handed sailor

since the civil rights era when white southerners left the Democratic Party and decamped to the GOP, Democrats have taken up the mantle of civil rights while Republicans have been saddled with the legacy of white grievance and resentment https://t.co/sfpAa6JNV9

Good analysis by Rubin. To RWNJs, things like bashing Ihlan Omar or calling out Northam are a form of asymmetrical warfare. It stings the Dems, but the same criticism is wholly ineffective when used against the right-wingers themselves, since they do not care about antisemitism or racism, and they regard homophobia and Islamophobia as positive virtues.
