4. There are racists in the GOP but labeling the entire party as white nationalists isn't prudent

Doing so only alienates voters that vote Republican.

Call out the racism, voter suppression, corruption, and civil rights violations. That should never stop.

But labeling people who vote Republican as all white nationalists is going to just reflect bad on Democrats who would be lumping everyone together and labeling them.

It always pissed me off when some Republicans would sneer and say "those damn liberals" and furthered my resolve to oppose them.

I wouldn't recommend giving those who vote Republican any resolve to do the same for their side.

My 2 cents...
