>I'm sorry but this take comes across as someone who has never interacted with people who are/were effected by racism nor interacted with people that support policies that have been perceived as racially motivated and are completely looking in from a different state or area.
Those people exist and I am sympathetic to their plight but they are not the target demographic that politicians are trying to convert using the racism rhetoric. They were mostly already voting for the people pumping out the racism rhetoric. The fact that they may see those politicians as further allies is just a secondary or tertiary bonus.

That is the single best piece of advice in this entire thread. I will probably end up paraphrasing this at some point, because it drives the point home pretty effectively.
