What? Me? Really?
Democrats might be looking at their not too distant future, as the nation has grown more and more polarized.
And how has the right gone so far right? In reaction to the left moving further and further left.
We see it even now as Biden tries to form a government, with the far left running a campaign to move the centrist candidate further to the left even before he performs his first act as president. Is the left a bunch of communist cell insurgents? Hardly. But it can't be a constant litany of what whitey did wrong.
Civil rights are a valid concern, but the party cannot appear to be making war on the majority of the population with just about every public statement it makes. You can champion civil rights reforms without the chorus being, "you're white so you're racist" every damned day, as if the only thing of importance is the punishment and lambasting of the the majority of the citizenry.
When you hear a radio spot eulogize a murdered black man and the speaker feels compelled to include a stinger that liberals aren't any friend of blacks, you get the flavor of why conservatives have reactionary aversion to the swing in power. If the very forces that are fighting for civil rights reforms and progress are demeaned by those that they have helped, how much more will the culture war target those who haven't even taken a supporting role or antipathy?
Claiming every Republican or white person (liberal or other) is a racist and an enemy isn't any winning formula for a political party. The election just showed that as Blacks and Latinos rejected being represented by the party that has spent its political capital for the last decades supporting their causes. There is no unified minority organization outside the Democratic party, as Chinese, Japanese, Latinos, and Blacks don't share a common culture, set of values, or anything else beyond the need to have civil rights protections.
As the Democratic Party has allowed its message to become more about race politics, it has lost more of its appeal to the majority of the country, including the minorities it claims to speak for.
