(10,721 posts)52. This is all part of the larger narrative that the right wing started pushing in 2016.
It's the absurd, racist and contradictory "white working class economic anxiety/down with identity politics" bullshit narrative that the right, the media and, sadly, far too many on the left end of the political spectrum (from progressive to centrist) pushed and pushed hard. They're still pushing it. Many on DU have fallen for it.
Right wingers know, whether they admit it or not, that the Republican Party's viability depends upon maintaining racism and sexism. That means that an emphasis on anti-racism and anti-sexism threatens their survival. A diverse and youthful ticket (such as Harris-O'Rourke) that sharply contrasts (in every way) with Trump-Pence is the last thing they want to go up against in 2020.
