Democrats Hold a Terrible Hand of Race Cards

Name calling is the last refuge for one losing an argument. Much like a roundhouse punch that hits nothing but air, it’s a final effort in a losing fight. But it’s also been the one reliable punch for Democrats, playing the race card against opponents. Not so much now, however. Shouting, “You’re a racist!” has been the preferred comeback for Democrats on the losing side of an argument. Alternatives to the word racist include Nazi, bigot, fascist, homophobe, sexist, and so on, but racist has the best quick jab-like sting.... Pelosi is not woke enough for “the squad”, four freshmen representatives representing the communist wing of an already far left Democrat party. I speak of AOC and her socialist sisters, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
What goes around comes around. The race card is being thrown back in the faces of those who have played it for decades. The term “racist” has become such a cliché that it no longer carries any weight or meaning. Like the story of the boy who cried wolf, the public tunes out accusations of racism as meaningless and childish name calling. How many Democrat Senators proudly worked with former KKK Grand Cyclops Senator Robert Byrd for decades, some even calling him their “mentor” as Hillary Clinton did? Ironically it was President Trump who came to Nancy Pelosi’s rescue. Speaking to a gaggle of media magpies Trump said, “I'll tell you something about Nancy Pelosi that you know better than I do, she is not a racist. OK? She is not a racist. For them to call her a racist is a disgrace."... Situational racism is a substitute for logic and debate, just a means of shutting down anyone who you can’t argue with on the merits. From substantive discussion to name calling, it is the refuge of cowards and intellectual lightweights. Now that “the squad” is tossing race cards across the room, how soon until Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are called racists? What goes around comes around.
Comment:
When you've got no real argument and losing the argument, just resort to name-calling. Amongst Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrats today the most ubiquitous calumny they use is "RACIST !!"
It's amusing that Pelosi is caught between a rock and a hard place. She either has to join the crazies who don't respect her or join the President who doesn't respect her. Today her statement against Trump and calling him a racist proves that even his support for her position was rejected and she would rather be called a racist by AOC.
She has cleverly distanced herself from the "Squad", then manipulated trump into unifying democrats around her at the same time.
Nonetheless, Blacks and Hispanics are leaving the Democrat plantation for greener pastures in the Republican party. The truth is that Democrats need under skilled, under educated people to survive as a political party.
The trash-talking race-hustling bobblehead "Squad" that don't have a total brain or sense between them. Any Dem who makes Dems look worse than they are deserves my wholehearted support. Not financially, of course. More like egging on someone who is determined to win a Darwin Award in the shortest time possible by jumping off a bridge or taking a long walk on a short pier or picking a toothpick out of a wood chipper.
What I find very interesting in the "Squad" is that they came along at the same time, are of "color", and generally speak the same Marxist Socialist garbage! If I want to present a "conspiracy theory", in order to "protect" themselves from attacks, what better way to achieve minimal attacks....they're WOMEN and of COLOR! Thus, when and if attacked, they can shout..."misogynist" and "racist" together....in harmony! What a combination!
