He picks a shallow stereotype of liberals.

Look at what we do. We came out in huge numbers last November to stop nascent fascism. Why? Because every leftist I know believes in the Constitution and our institutions. We think they could be better.

Even black people I know, and ones I've looked up to, have been saying that they want us to live up to our promise. Barbara Jordan, MLK... believed in the... Potential? Promise? Something fundamental about the USA and how it was conceived. The American dream and how it should include everyone. And if there's anyone who has a right to not believe in our country, it's black folks.
