Pretending the left is racist makes you a turd bonnet
Only if "turd bonnet" = realist.
The problem with the Left is that their own efforts, their own cures for racism are both institutionalizing and perpetuating racism. This makes them racists. I know their intent is to eradicate racism but the path to the mountaintop they've chosen is causing more problems than it's solving. Yes, the Right isn't any better because they don't care. They are much worse when it comes to disenfranchising voters. OTOH, while that often works out to be racially divided,
it is primarily economic.
Remember when the only people who could vote were "landed" men? Male, often European descent, property owners? Those same male, often European descent, property owners still want it that way. Any racial aspects are either way down the list or they don't give a shit.
Only Trump gives a shit about trailer-renting, white trash welfare recipients as long as they fly a Rebel Flag and have a Trump sign on their pick up truck. Manipulating voting in order to return power propertied people disenfranchises all trailer park renters, or renters anywhere,
equally. I disagree with it which is why I support our present system and dislike efforts to disenfranchise.
Motivations are important. Republicans are primarily motivated by avarice. They don't care who gets hurt as long as they get theirs. If there's profit in racism, they'll be racist. If there's no profit, they don't care. What they do care about is those, by power of the vote, seek to deprive or reduce the size of their bank account or profit margin. That's not racist. Racism is stupid and bad for business.
Using racism against those
racists seeking to reduce their power and money is what "modern" American politics is all about.
