Patriotism versus Racism in the 2020 Elections

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Who are the real American patriots? Who are the real racists?

These two questions will play a big role in the 2020 election.

The Left is desperate to turn any traditional patriotic appeal into an act of racism. The Left is desperate to smear Republicans and moderate Democrats as racists.

This past week, between Sunday and Tuesday, CNN and MSNBC used the word “racist” more than 1,100 times.

Part of this desperation is in the Left’s inability to debate the facts and their hope that strong smears can shame their opponents out of broaching the argument.

Part of this desperation is in the Left’s growing realization that President Trump and the Republicans are beginning to attract minority support in a serious way.

The 2018 election was a watershed in the shift of minority voters toward Republicans.

Consider the example of the very left-wing African American female candidate for governor in Georgia. She alienated enough African American males with her radicalized platforms that the Republican candidate got a significant percentage of African American male votes.

In Florida, a left-wing African American candidate for governor lost almost one out of five African American female votes because of his opposition to school choice.
