Yeah, right? If you have to preemptively warn your elected party members to not do a racism or a sexism maybe you're the party of the racists and sexists.
No no, the way it reads is not to do these things overtly.

The coin has dropped that they'll have to go back to dropping hard Rs in private for a while if they want any chance at turning the country into a christofascist dictatorship.
So is the fact that Trump won't be about to stop himself from doing it.
AND it won’t work
Hmm. Sounds woke. Republicans awaking to wokeness? Gotta try something when your base is infatuated with Old Sleepy Don, who can't stop defaming E. Jean Carroll and doesn't have anything bad to say about white supremacists.
I'd say that you and I should join some right-wing forums to make the point that this is "woke" and "anti-Republican", but I strongly suspect many of them are already saying it themselves.

"Why am I being censored? Free speech under attack!"
Also, from the WSJ:
I'm afraid the archive link just keeps asking me if I'm a robot and won't let me in no matter how many times I check the box or tell them how many motorcycles I see.
This means that you're a bot now. I'm so sorry.
I’m afraid the archive link just keeps asking me if I’m a robot and won’t let me in no matter how many times I check the box or tell them how many motorcycles I see.
I agree with this person.

"Hey listen guys just wait until we win and then we can say the N word whenever we want just like the good old days." - Mike "Hey son watch me jack it" Johnson
Mike "my son controls my" Johnson
The idea that men should never have to learn self control - instead relying on another man to do it for them - just shows how weak-kneed these dudes are.
Normal men - Be strong! Be brave!
Republicans - Not on my watch!
"Stop saying the quiet part out loud during campaign season. You can do it afterwards again"
From the party that has actively encouraged these white nationalists at every step
Back to facial expressions it is!
stop being sexist cries party that nominated a nineteen time serial sexual abuser of women.
And chldren.
The party that has promoted a sexist and racist agenda for decades is surprised when its members publicly make sexist and racist comments about an opposing candidate? This very well could turn into a major leopard-ate-my-face moment and I'm ready for it with plenty of popcorn.

They hate on James Donald Bowman’s Indian wife. They hate on that Sikh woman that spoke at the convention. Who actually believes they will hold back regarding the opposing parties’ black female nominee?
Edit: Oh this article is about the elected people in the party. Not the actual members. I guess we will be seeing more BS from right wing ‘news’ as a work around.
Steer clear, aka "stop making so many..."
Back in 2020, they found over 200000 bigoted comments or slanders against Harris alone.
They're ramping up now, of course: "Diversity hire", "escort", "slept her way to the top", doctored images of her and Epstein, etc:

Both sides are the same? So far this is the only side whose leadership has to caution members to not be racist or sexist.
Now if they can get their followers on social media to do the same...
Good luck with that.
Mission: Impossible
BREAKING NEWS: "Has the Republican party turned Woke?"
Can they warn party members to not incite another insurrection or civil war too?
"Guys, guys, guys, everybody be cool man, people are paying attention right now."
Pretty wild stuff, both sides are the same my ass. Could you imagine the Democrats having to tell their party members to not be bigots?
No you cannot and that is fucking incredible, The amount of cognitive dissonance you have to have to be a Republican is mind-boggling.
But if they don't attack her on race and sex, how else are those inbred idiots gonna attack her? Because attacking is all they ever do.
Oh nvm they'll just make shit up like they normally do.
They could focus on their wildly popular policies and ideas! Oh wait
You can shut it down on the outside but we all already know how deep inside them the racism dwells

Republican leaders urge fish not to swim.
Trump made them think its fine to keep saying the quiet part out loud without realizing the majority hate the sexism and hopefully a majority also hate the racism. They don't know how to attack without dog whisteling and hopefully it continues to drive people away from them.
Narrator: “They didn’t.”
"Remember, the dog whistle is just as effective to rile up your base, so don't be afraid to use that instead"
LOL it says quite enough that they have to be reminded of this
"Guys guys, please wait until we win to unleash all that hate and racism"
Time to secretly get some recordings of what they are really saying at their dinner party circles à la the recent recordings of Supreme Court justices discussing flags in their neighborhoods.
May as well ask a horse to stop shitting in the street.
