As I said in another thread, the political strategy of the GOP is to concede the vote of non-white minorities to the Democrats,
and make up the difference and then some by appealing to as many white voters as they can, including those most racist.
That's a political strategy based on racism.
It has nothing to do with what Republicans are doing. The Democrat party has become the anti-white party in recent years. As per the OP, we are sick of hearing about race all the time. What the Democrats have done is to try and turn everything into a race issue. If you say "It's starting to get dark outside" some left-wing kook will claim the comment is racist.
White people who are not puppets are also aware of the Democrat strategy to make whites a minority as quickly as possible in this country. We see them fighting Trump on the wall issue, we see them guarding their sanctuary cities no matter what the cost. We've seen them stop Kate's Law in the Senate.
The Democrat party has made themselves more than obvious what they are for.
