Now that it's pretty apparent a white man will win the Democratic nomination, the Democrats and media are not really banging the sexism and racism drum much, eh? Don't you liberals ever get tired of being played?

The Left has done its damage and is now moving on to attack Trump in other ways.



My mother in law is visiting from Ireland and she is no Trump fan. Last night we were watching the news and a photo of Trump was shown and she said he was a racist. I asked her why she thinks that and she didn't have an answer. I said he was a friend of everyone for decades until the day he won the election and suddenly he was a racist wanna be Hitler that hates everyone. She then said well he said some bad things about people. I asked who and added that he did say that Mexico wasn't sending their best and brightest which is true and she agreed. She also didn't want to talk about it anymore but she still thinks he is a horrible, gross racist jerk. Oh well.



The Left has abandoned the racist sexist angle because they realized it wasn't working as well as they hoped to sap Trumps base. The people that hate him will always hate him and the people that support will keep supporting him if only to block the ridiculous Democrats from getting more power.



Identity politics at its worst.

Every leftist I know does this when presented with facts.

Real ballsy move questioning your mom on exact quotes on things she's got a passing familiarity with. We're on here pointing out all the racist things Trump has said and done, so why do you need your mother to repeat that back to you. Your mother is spot on even if she doesn't have all the facts committed to memory, like it's a knock on her.

Given the nature of the swing states it might do the Democrats well to choose class politics over identity politics.

The fact the Democrats have had a nominee that is white never stopped them in the past from tackling racism.
