It shouldn't be, but I feel like this is such a delicate thing.
Like, Trump is obviously racist, but his base sees themselves in him and when he is labeled racist, it projects to them; they're labeled racist too. They "know" they aren't racist and it's a strong accusatory word along the lines of being called a pedophile and that instantly brings up defenses and basically kills any chance of swaying their opinion. Besides, if we were wrong calling "them" (their projection from trump) racist, how could we possibly be right about calling Trump racist?
Should we give a shit what these people think? Really wish we didn't have to, but the world isn't fair and just enough at the moment to disregard the nuance here.
Let me guess, dems should also focus on courting those Gaza genocide voters too? Should we get the trans vote in there too? That's what, like 15 votes?
