Oh, I disagree. The Regressive takeover of the party has been building over time, maybe 20 years or so, but when into overdrive when Obama was elected. That's when the Regressives calculated that demographics were permanently on their side and that it was their time to enforce their illiberal leftist authoritarianism. Because they figured they had the numbers.Sure. What they want to avoid is what has happened to the party.I think the point was that when Republicans take such a stance, they are called racists, but when Democrats do it, they are just being Americans.Of course, Bill Clinton is/was no white supremacist, the OP was merely making a (good) point about what has happened to the Democratic party.

Their party is no different than it was 20 years ago. Now they just try to label everything racist. "Good morning how are you?" is now considered racist by the left.
The good thing is they are not smart enough to realize what a mistake they are making, and keep on making it. I work with people all day long. When the subject comes up--even by people not politically involved, they constantly ask "Why is every Fn thing racist today???"
People are just good and fed up with the rhetoric. That's why Hillary's Deplorable comment ushered in Trump. We don't want to be such a fragile society where we have to worry about the Thought Police coming to take us away to be reprogrammed.
But they were wrong, they acted too early. They went too far too fast, and pissed off just enough people to put Trump in the White House.
And they're pretty confident that the tide will go back in their direction, beginning in November. Permanently.
