This is where the problems with the hard-left elitist leaders of the party sitting on their laurels and patting themselves on the back for having the moral high-ground comes back to bite them. How can they reach out to a middle-class family of white rednecks in Alabama or whatever when they can't stop reminding those same rednecks how backward and hopeless they are in their regressive opinions on gender rights or how stupid they are for hiding behind their religion and calling them hypocrites for their conflicting stance on race relations and their hard-core Christian nationalism. Until the leaders of the party get off their high horses it won't get any better and they have no hope of being the party of the poor and working class when all they have shown is they look down their noses at them constantly. That has to change. Otherwise those same working class rednecks will continue looking for a Trump to validate their world-view and support him no matter what because he says what they feel... Namely "**** them, I'll take care of this rampant persecution of Christians" and they'll believe him and follow him to the end of the earth. Anthony Bourdain was right on that assessment for sure.
That’s the problem, the left has had its hand out the entire time. As soon as that hand was a black man’s, the darkness our country never reconciled with reared up again and slapped the hand away and shot it dead.
You yourself, and many on here, watched it happen, let it happen, justified it, and supported it. All in the name of partisan politics. While I’m glad you and a few on here saw the light, your relentless support of the right wing is why we are here. You can’t blame the left, not democrats - the left, we’ve been screaming this stuff for decades and you all ignored us cause tan suits and birth certificates. Real conservatives, now moderates, need to take accountability for what you’ve help build.
Don’t get me wrong, I feel for you and have already forgiven you, even before you saw the light. I’m happy for you all and glad you’re here. But to blame the left and not take responsibility for your role in this is disappointing and honestly we’re tired of it. That attitude is what got us here.
Don’t be afraid to stand up to injustice and obvious hatred, ever. The minute you get in their face they cower like a kicked dog. Just watch what happens once the country turns on them.
