I'm sure ...the first paragraph is full of lies. I'm sure the rest of it is garbage, too. Being a resister means never having to be right or have evidence to support your opinions. Their garbage feelings are all the evidence they ever need. <br /><br />And leftists are not "showing us how to be highly sensitive to anything even close to racism." If anything, they keep pointing out how many non-racists things are suddenly racist. The accusation of racism has lost a lot of its power from over and exaggerated use, though some still exists, particularly with leftists and NeverTrumpers. <br /><br />The overplaying of the race card is particularly appalling given how much time these assholes spend pushing racist conspiracy theories such as "white privilege" or that anything and everything is suddenly part of the white nationalism, which is more bullshit. ignore it and be happy.

I know there were some pro-Trump seeming anti-Jewish Twitter accounts, but who knows who is behind Twitter accounts like that? I think there are millions of ways to fake Tweet swarms and twitter accounts, and if people can fake protests out in the real world, they can fake Twitter swarms.<br /><br />I just remember almost as soon as Trump was elected, we started hearing about Richard Spencer, whom I had never heard of before. He suddenly became very interesting- I know Tapper would retweet things about him. He seems almost entirely a Twitter creation, and I'd guess there's some PR firm that found him and started pushing him out there as a major story to hurt the right. Kind of like the poor Covington Catholic kid.<br /><br />In general, if you look at the political stories of the day as PR pushes, I think everything makes more sense.<br />So all of this is a long way of saying it looks like Dem's attempts to make Trump look racist isn't working.<br /><br />But not having a bunch of Fergonsons going on probably also helps. People really do just want to get along.MayBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966319657113124861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-46138634966814789532019-05-24T12:53:34.532-05:002019-05-24T12:53:34.532-05:00Sorry Michael K if my format made it appear from y...Sorry Michael K if my format made it appear from you.

Racism has been on the decline my whole 56 years of life. The Obama years were temporarily successful in making the easily impressionable -- like the young and the ignorant-- believe that racism was rampant and growing, but that was a lie. <br /><br />Now that the race-mongers are relegated to the sidelines due to Trump-hatred dominating the news cycles, we're back on the path we were always on, acknowledging that actual racists and bigots are a dying breed. <br /><br />In addition, overplaying the race-card during the Obama years destroyed its effectiveness. Maybe some white-guilt laden Boomers and young people scarred by the race-baiting Obama years are still obsessing over skin-color, but most people recognize "political correctness" as bullshit. They'll play along because too many have too much to lose, but I expect a backlash against PC from a younger generation at some point; they don't have as much to lose and everything to gain.
