In reply to the discussion: Carville says we're too woke [View all]Conservatives are pushing hard on the "culture" items, better defined as racial animosity and resentment. The fake border crisis is built on fear that dirty Brown people are coming to rape your wives, steal your jobs, and vote Democratic. The Defund the Police (I have already stipulated long ago it is a bad slogan) issue is about scary Black people running amok in your town because the "thin blue line" is being taken away. They will start hitting the transgender sports and bathroom thing very soon because again, scary "he shes" are coming to ... Conservatives have ZERO policies that actually help anyone, so they rely heavily on pushing lies and stoking racial, ethnic, and gender resentments.
It is up to Democrats to push forward policies that actually help people. We need to push forward hard with economic help. We need to push forward hard on fixing the voting system to stop Republicans from being able to suppress votes. Those are the things we need to focus on. AND we need to support people like Val Demmings and Mondaire Jones who have been pushing back hard in Congress, on the Republican framing.
