9/11 was Obamas fault?.......

11. The entire argument that we need to be understanding of white supremacists and neo-nazis

(and not call them by the terms they use to identify themselves) that the voters that really matter are Trump voters, and that we have to placate them--whether by excusing away white supremacy and misogyny, or abandoning gun control and abortion rights. Meanwhile, the Democratic base suffers from "stockholm syndrome," votes with our vagainas, or our votes shouldn't even count because we represent the "confederacy."

The entire argument about assuaging the ego of white male right wingers and ignoring "identity politics"--the concerns of non-white men--is to remake the image of the GOP.

The fact is there is a great deal of ultra-reactionary ideology being championed as "progressive." When the goal is to turn the clock back 50 or more years, that's regressive, not progressive.
