I should not have said the left, but some on the extreme left that is gaining influence quickly or something like that.
As far as I understand it the civil rights movement had two strains, MLK had a liberal version and there was a Marxist illiberal version. The latter one is now back as the critical race theory.
I can understand how it happened and why Marxism is appealing but I can never support it. There is just a huge philosophical gap there. And I don’t think it can be put into practice.
My main point was that going around and alienating all the people that could be your allies drives them into voting for trump etc. if there are two camps I feel uncomfortable with, one calls me a white suprematist and the other welcomes me the choice becomes much simpler.
I strongly believe Obama could still win a presidential election. That means the electorate is not primarily driven by racism.
Finally I think it’s too much to expect all voters to look into why you call the white suprematist or try to dig into the underlying position. There has to be a positive future for everyone if you want to win elections. If you run on exterminating whiteness don’t be too surprised if white people decide that is not an appealing future for them.
