Republicans could do themselves a huge favor by just (a) admitting that old fashioned, mouth breathing, ignorant paranoid white racism still exists, (b) putting their focus on loudly, clearly, and unequivocally holding those elements on the Right accountable and responsible, and (c) leveraging those efforts to challenge the Left to clean its own house on the issue.
That's about it.
But, they have been conditioned to downplay, ignore, mock, avoid or dismiss any examples of white racism, because they just don't have the balls to be honest and responsible. That's up to them. But all that does is provide fodder to those on the Left who have a vested interest in avoiding holding their own side accountable, and the cycle continues.
I like the guy who grew up in the United States and claims that half the country is racist. You know perfectly well that's just a lie, fascist dick
