It's on reverting back to racist code language such as
CRT.

Many people who voted for Biden are not liberals or
necessarily good people. They just couldn't take
another four years of Trump and weren't quite as
crazy as a lot of so-called racist "conservatives."

It was easy to win them back since they were looking
for a reason and found it in the incessant negative
Republican and RW media messaging and code talk.

I would call them Reaganites basically or maybe
Bush-Cheney ites.
