Democrats’ addiction
to the race card is suicidal

Recently, a few high-profile events have illustrated the
Democratic Party’s overdependence on the race card and need to wallow in
identity politics.
Since President Trump came to office, the left has ramped
up its attacks on Republicans. Democrats are trying to rally liberal activists
and a cooperative media to cast most everyone in the GOP
as racists who sympathize with white supremacists.
Democrats howl about Republicans, make everything about
race or “diversity” and don’t notice that voters are turned off. In the
process, Democrats are further alienating many rational, thoughtful voters.
It’s easy to see that liberals’ insistence on politically
correct identity politics isn’t just idiotic. It’s also dangerous.
Even though it’s mostly an inside-the-Beltway story, the
Democrats’ latest example of racially tinged hypocrisy is revealing. According to its website, the Democratic
National Committee “is an equal opportunity employer” — except when it’s not.
Here’s an example. According to recent reports, a DNC
official wrote in an email to her Democratic colleagues that she’d prefer to
exclude “cisgender straight white males” from consideration for jobs with the DNC’s
technology department “since they’re already in the majority.”
It says a lot that in response to this email, an
anonymous DNC source told the Daily Wire:
“Clearly the DNC is doubling down on a failed strategy that has alienated
staffers and voters alike. We want to be judged based on the quality of our
work, not on identity politics. How can we trust the leadership of the DNC if
they don’t even trust us?”
And that’s from a Democrat.
The Democratic Party’s support for identity politics
extends well beyond the walls of the DNC. Tuesday’s terrorist attack in
New York was allegedly committed by a Muslim immigrant who came to
the United States on a so-called “diversity visa.”
And, it figures, the bill that helped create the program was introduced by none other
than Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY), who stood on the
Senate floor in 2006 saying: “As a member of the House, I helped create this
program, which my colleague, Sen. Kennedy, created in the Senate in 1990 … So
this is an excellent program. Nobody has said it has done a bad job.”
Well, here we are. Oh, and by the way, remember that when
the diversity visa was created, Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress.
That should give pause to anyone who thinks Democrats should return to power.
The fact is, in the land of opportunity, Democrats prefer
that you meet their standards of diversity before you can participate.
Considering they have no economic message and no plan to create jobs or grow
the economy, they desperately rely on perpetuating lies and divisions through
slanderous attacks on decent Republicans.
Most recently, in the Virginia governor’s race, Democrats are painting
Republican Ed Gillespie, whom I’ve known and contributed to for
years, as a bigot. The Ralph Northam campaign is standing by a mailer they sent
out depicting Gillespie and Trump as white nationalists akin to those who
marched in Charlottesville with tiki torches yelling hate speech.
And only after the tragedy in New York City on Tuesday
did the Latino Victory Fund pull its vile ad that portrays a white Gillespie
supporter on the prowl in a pickup truck hunting down and attacking Latino and
Muslim children.
Think about that. Can you imagine the outcry if
Republicans had run an ad featuring someone with dark skin threatening white
children? It would rightfully be universally condemned. But with Democrats
today — crickets.
Even for a cynic like me, that ad was about as low as it
gets. It was much worse than the Willy Horton ad in 1988. The Democrats’ ad
doesn’t just promote racial fear, panic and desperation, it shows the sorry
state of Democratic politics.
For a decent person like Gillespie to be slandered and
smeared is beyond the pale of what is tolerable. And I have a pretty big pale.
The ad doesn’t just target Gillespie, it uses frightened children as props to
deliberately mislabel all Republicans.
Democrats use identity politics to develop their
campaigns, organize their party and impose their will via government policy.
Qualified people are excluded from service, good candidates are smeared and
Americans are put in danger. But somehow, Democrats think this is progress.
They think this is justice. It’s what they want to do more of when they are in
power.
Shame on them.
