re: #142 b.d.

Wingnuts really cant be that stupid;

Yeah, sadly they can.

The Blahs will vote for Dr. Ben Cardin because he is a blah. Wommins will vote for Sarah because she is a wommins. The Latins (who the repubs sure seem to love) will vote for Rubio or Cruz because they are Latin. (Not even going to touch on how there are light year’s worth of differences between a Cuban Latin and a continental North/South American Latin.)

The mindset CCJ betrays here is that white conservatives vote for republicans because they are white, or at least promise to advance the interests of the white power structure. It’s a party based in large part upon identity politics, so they project that onto minorities and just assume minorities are as motivated by race as they are.
