Meanwhile, Conservatives:
They’re finally being honest about who and what they are. It’s what their sexist and racist base want. Their base would vote for them if they dressed up in hooded robes emblazoned with red and black swastikas and burned crosses in the lawn of the Capital. They’re trying to time down their honesty so that they don’t alienate swing voters who might be turned off by the open expression of their sexism and racism and to reduce the risk of mobilizing those who find it abhorent.
Can you imagine not knowing Republicans are racist and sexist just because they talked about hiding it for a few months?
What they need is to give the typical con and, lol, “independents”, a permission structure to continue to vote for Republicans. Everyone knows they are racists, but it’s nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Or more pertinently, feeling like you have to issue a warning to your peers to not be racist and sexist, and then still choosing to associate with them?
They all know their party is chock full of racists. This is why they get so damned angry and try to tone-police normal Americans when normal Americans call them out for their racism, sexism, and being Nazis. I just saw Bill O’Lielly try this garbage - where calling racists (them) racists is somehow related to a Republican trying to shoot their orange fuhrer. He actually did this.
Good luck with that.
Literally a few articles above in my feed:

Hey, so you know how when you hire a new female employee and the boss has to send out an email reminding everyone to resist being racist and sexist?
Yeah, neither do I. Probably because we don’t hire Republicans.
The fact that Republican leaders have to even “urge party members to avoid racist and sexist attacks against Harris” in the first place should tell you all you need to know about how deep the bigotry is embedded in the Republican party.
Notice how Democrats don’t have to, for example, tell their party members not to use racial slurs when campaigning against Tim Scott.
Younger Democrats do seem to have a thing about “old white” guys that i don’t think comes off very well to the larger public.
Just the ones trying to take away their rights and destroy their futures.
Unfortunately that’s a much larger demographic than “old white men”
Aww, that’s too bad!
Oh well
wait what’s wrong with saying old white guys are terrible
Because it’s literally racist and sexist. You need a healthy dose of objectivity in your life.
someone’s a cranky old white man. wonder why everyone hates you, maybe you should dig into those deep pockets of yours and use some of that objectivity you’re so fond of
If you had some objectivity you wouldn’t have made yourself look silly jumping to wildly inaccurate conclusions about who you’re talking to just because they suggested you be a little less racist and sexist towards people.
ok boomer
The dog whistles that they pack into their everyday speech was always racist and sexist but now that they have to say it to a woman of color, everyone can hear the whistle.
LOL, they know their own, don’t they?
HAHAHAHAHA

Also republicans:
Don’t forget the part where they blame everyone else for “making” them do it, too.
“Well I’m already here drinking a Mountain Dew, might as well go all-in and drop some N-bombs”
Republicans, probably
That headline again:
Republican leaders urge party to hold their breath until November
If only.
“We might need to stop saying the quiet part out loud for a few months guys” - the GOP right now
Urging water not to be wet
Water isn’t wet.
“everything water touches is wet” But let me ask this, doesn’t water touch other water?
I don’t know, do you touch yourself?
Nevermind
Ah but can you have dry water?
You can dehydrate it. You just add water to reconstitute it.
Years ago I predicted Republicans in their desperation to win and for lack of an actual popular platform would have to pivot further and further right, appealing to more extremists. This because Democrats effectively absorbed any decent policy platforms they once held. They are thus only holding on by 1) Lies, 2) Right-wing nut jobs, and 3) The Electoral College + Gerrymandering.
Now, they’ve forked themselves. If they try to put the brakes on appealing to racist sexist uneducated bigots, then they alienate those same people and it backfires for them. They’ve hitched their party to Trump and I’m loving it.
This is why they now openly embrace un-democratic and un-American views about how to run a government. If they seize power, they will do everything possible to have minority rule (theirs) encoded into the system they use to replace the American one.
