That’s absolutely the point. When terrorists attached the U.S. every single republican was asking why Obama didn’t say ‘Islamic Terrorist’ with every breath. Every moment on tv, daytime they spoke.

Why the dems don’t do it. Every time they are asked, just say why isn’t Trump saying ‘White supremacist terrorism’, call it this when talking about it. Even make up an initilalism like WST. Hang the name around the repubs.

I saw Charles Pierce point out the very reason yesterday: Because the Dem leadership is composed largely people who were either in office or elected in the immediate years after Ronnie won with the help of “Reagan Democrats.” Ever since then, there has been a party-wide aversion to any policies or proposals that would risk angering the “white working class” that the party has desperately been trying to win back. So they won’t go after Trump with such attacks because they greatly fear turning off white voters by doing so.
