How their enemies see them



This works for feminists and liberals a lot better than calling the Republicans an alliance of plutocrats and Christian clericalists with a dose of racists of unknown significance.

Liberals are perfectly OK with raging and sneering at a party of old white men but not so anxious to attack a party of bishops, clergymen of all stripes, lay but believing Christians, and un-rich folks so stupid as to ally themselves with a vicious plutocracy that would strip them naked and let them starve in the snow.

Racist and sexist attacks on the opposition seem to them far preferable and more likely successful than frank attacks on the evils of capitalism and the vicious greed of the ruling class.

Class war?

Us?

Hey, not us.

No way.
