Can its racism reduce the GOP to a permanent loser?

Will this so alienate enough whites who are non- or anti-racists but generally vote GOP for other reasons as to reduce the party to a popular vote loser not only for the presidency but for other public offices?

Jonathan Capehart, with boundless unjustified optimism, suggests as much.

But nah.

For too many whites racism is not a bug but a feature.

And for too many other whites it's not much of a bug.

Right now on MSNBC a national leader of the NAACP, Sherrilyn Ifill, president of their Legal Defense Fund, is on Andrea Mitchell and she is just great, talking about white supremacy and what is expected of presidents in connection with that sort of thing.

Andrea is letting her talk and she is sharp as a whip, sharp as a tack, and loaded with true political history, speaking clearly on the side of the angels.

Jonathan Capehart said if the president comes through and damns white supremacy specifically for what happened Saturday it will actually be too late.

On the same point, no one will believe his heart is in the right place, said Ms. Ifill, unless he fires Bannon, Miller, and other alt.right racists in the White House and stops the policies of his administration.

Andrea raised the question of disallowing demonstrations by bigots, but nobody took up that unAmerican cause.

Update.

Later that same day a spokesperson for Black Lives Matter urged that the First Amendment does not protect hate speech.

That is a position increasingly urged on the PC, SJW left.

That is not the view enshrined into law over the years by the Supremes and not the view championed by the ACLU, over the years, and not the view accepted by anyone who thinks the US is all the better for not criminalizing hate speech, as the EU and others have done.

Greenwald, again.
