THE ‘RACISTS’ ARE MORE RELATABLE

This weekend brought some eye-opening reminders for voters.

Two contrasting liberal events took over the streaming platforms, causing quite a stir. First up was the nationwide No Kings protests. Videos and images shot across social media, showcasing a mix of odd characters. It was something else, really—kudos to the man who stayed calm while interviewing these protesters. One woman looked like she stepped right out of a post-apocalyptic movie.

The content from these protests was truly hard to follow. You had groups of Islamic militants marching alongside transgender activists. At times, it felt like a bizarre rally for authoritarian regimes, all under the “no kings” narrative. And there were elected officials openly declaring loyalty to foreigners.

Honestly, it was all quite surreal.

On another note, the Democratic Socialists meeting in Ontario appeared more polished, yet still featured its share of the unusual. One by one, attendees took the microphone to raise “points of privilege.”

“Point of privilege, the closed captioning is too slow.”

“Point of privilege, as a black woman … ”

“Point of privilege, someone misused our privilege cards.”

Yes, they handed out color-coded privilege cards reflecting one’s identity. So, if you identified as a black, polyamorous, transgender squirrel enthusiast? There was a card for that.

Clips from this event also went viral, as they do each year, largely because, aside from sharing their personal stories, not much else gets done.

“The left is completely cooked,” said one well-known online personality. “Isn’t it wild how nothing actually gets discussed or accomplished? It’s just people talking about themselves. Complete narcissism.”

“If you hire these individuals, your office just becomes less productive,” he observed. “Not only are they not contributing, but they’re actually detrimental. If they were neutral, you could just ignore them.”

Then he got to the heart of the matter.

“We’ve tolerated this behavior, and that’s the real issue,” he argued. “I will never vote for a Democrat again because they enable this kind of nonsense. Voting for a ‘moderate’ Democrat means supporting them.”

That’s a hard pill to swallow.

From Tim Walz pledging allegiance to foreigners to Gavin Newsom’s wife aiming to redefine her role as the first “first partner” instead of first lady—this is the best the party can muster.

During one of my many political discussions, we all agreed on one thing: this confusion is pushing more people from diverse backgrounds to lean towards those labeled as “racists.”

For years, the primary critique against Republicans has been their alleged racism. This accusation has been thrown at nearly everyone—Mitt Romney, George Bush, and, of course, Donald Trump. They’ve even labeled African American and Latino conservatives as hostile; remember Larry Elder being called the “black face of white supremacy”?

But aside from the racism claim, Republicans stand for a few things that resonate. They actively reject the chaotic liberal ideologies, they don’t distribute privilege cards, and they understand basic gender distinctions. They believe in accountability for wrongdoing, often suggesting jail time for serious offenses. They value community and family. Plus, in many Hispanic or Black communities, their faith is a shared connection.

The moderate form of “racism” can also be somewhat relatable. Ever been to a diverse urban area? You might notice some Cubans find Puerto Ricans a bit irksome, or that Black and Yemeni folks don’t always mesh perfectly. It’s not malicious, but it exists, simmering beneath the surface.

The left is giving voters a straightforward choice, even if, or especially when, the “racism” accusation holds some truth. It’s a matter of choosing between something relatable and coherent or something utterly nonsensical.

Communists, who might be struggling with their identities, or … well, politicians like Marco Rubio, JD Vance, or Donald Trump. Even Mitt Romney, for that matter.

Honestly, it hardly feels like a real choice.
