Tribalism or racism?

TWEET METhe following article is a must read for those who want to understand what's happening in places like Florida and Georgia when it comes to the most recent midterm elections.

 "It’s fashionable in the Donald Trump era to decry political “tribalism,” especially if you’re a conservative attempting to criticize Trump without incurring the wrath of his supporters. House Speaker Paul Ryan has lamented the “tribalism” of American politics. Arizona Senator Jeff Flake has said that “tribalism is ruining us.” Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse has written a book warning that “partisan tribalism is statistically higher than at any point since the Civil War.”

In the fallout from Tuesday’s midterm elections, many political analysts have concluded that blue America and red America are ever more divided, ever more at each other’s throats. But calling this “tribalism” is misleading, because only one side of this divide remotely resembles a coalition based on ethnic and religious lines, and only one side has committed itself to a political strategy that relies on stoking hatred and fear of the other. By diagnosing America’s problem as tribalism, chin-stroking pundits and their sorrowful semi-Trumpist counterparts in Congress have hidden the actual problem in American politics behind a weird euphemism.

Take Tuesday’s midterm elections. In New York’s Nineteenth Congressional District, the Democrat Antonio Delgado, a Harvard-educated, African American Rhodes scholar, defeated the incumbent Republican John Faso in a district that is 84 percent white, despite Faso caricaturing Delgado as a “big-city rapper.” In Georgia, the Republican Brian Kemp appears to have defeated the Democrat Stacey Abrams after using his position as secretary of state to weaken the power of the black vote in the state and tying his opponent to the New Black Panther Party. In Florida, the Republican Ron DeSantis defeated the Democrat Andrew Gillum after a campaign in which DeSantis’s supporters made racist remarks about Gillum. The Republican Duncan Hunter, who is under indictment, won after running a campaign falsely tying his Democratic opponent, Ammar Campa-Najjar, who is of Latino and Arab descent, to terrorism. In North Dakota, Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp lost reelection after Republicans adopted a voter-ID law designed to disenfranchise the Native American voters who powered her upset win in 2012. President Trump spent weeks claiming that a caravan of migrants in Latin America headed for the United States poses a grave threat to national security, an assessment the Pentagon disagrees with. In Illinois on Tuesday, thousands of Republicans voted for a longtime Nazi who now prefers to describe himself as a “white racialist”; in Virginia, more than a million cast ballots for a neo-Confederate running for Senate.

A large number of Republican candidates, led by the president, ran racist or bigoted campaigns against their opponents. But those opponents cannot be said to belong to a “tribe.” No common ethnic or religious ties bind Heitkamp, Campa-Najjar, Delgado, or the constituencies that elected them. It was their Republican opponents who turned to “tribalism,” painting them as scary or dangerous, and working to disenfranchise their supporters.

The urgency of the Republican strategy stems in part from the recognition that the core of the GOP agenda—slashing the social safety net and reducing taxes on the wealthy—is deeply unpopular. Progressive ballot initiatives, including the expansion of Medicaid, anti-gerrymandering measures, and the restoration of voting rights for formerly incarcerated people, succeeded even in red states. If Republicans ran on their policy agenda alone, they would be at a disadvantage. So they have turned to a destructive politics of white identity, one that seeks a path to power by deliberately dividing the country along racial and sectarian lines. They portray the nation as the birthright of white, heterosexual Christians, and label the growing population of those who don’t fit that mold or reject that moral framework as dangerous usurpers.

The Democratic Party, reliant as it is on a diverse coalition of voters, cannot afford to engage in this kind of politics. There are no blue states where Democrats have sought to make it harder for white men without a college education to vote, even though that demographic typically votes Republican. Democratic candidates did not attack their white male opponents as dangerous because four white men carried out deadly acts of right-wing terrorism in the two weeks prior to the election. Democratic candidates for statewide office did not appeal to voters in blue states by trashing other parts of the country considered to be conservative. Democratic candidates who ran for office did not advertise their willingness to use state violence against groups associated with Republican constituencies.
I am not arguing that the Democratic Party or its members are particularly virtuous. A little more than a century ago, it was the Republican Party that was reliant on a diverse coalition of voters, and the Democratic Party that rode white rage to power. Rather, I am saying that when a party’s viability is dependent on a diverse coalition of voters, that party will necessarily stand for pluralism and equal rights, because its survival depends on it. And when a party is not diverse, it will rely on demonizing those who are different, because no constituency exists within that party to prevent it from doing so, or to show its members that they have nothing to fear.

In the Trump era, America finds itself with two political parties: one that’s growing more reliant on the nation’s diversity, and one that sees its path to power in stoking fear and rage toward those who are different. America doesn’t have a “tribalism” problem. It has a racism problem. And the parties are not equally responsible." [Source]

    Owning one’s projection is courageous and humbling; particularly Michelle Obama possesses the very indiscretion she dislikes about 45. Michelle’s entire family considers her a bully. She has a temper for which the media went out of their way to protect.

    Barry Obama's (Harvard Law School) classmate said Michelle flew from Chicago to visit Barry often; driving around in his raggedy Toyota. Both argued constantly. Michelle showed up unexpectedly at the library where Barry studied with girls. Michelle became so enraged she possessively put her hand on his shoulder then gave Barry a glaring look as if you know what time it is! Another time, Michelle threw a fit when she found Barry with another woman. Michelle drove a lot of Barack’s friends away with her rude cantankerous demeaner.

    Fast forward, Michelle went in on Tavis Smiley during the debate at Howard University. After the debate- camera still rolling- she went on stage yanked Smiley by the back of his jacket saying “why are you messing with Barack” in front of thousands.

    Michelle interfered with White House policy sending scolding emails. Michelle bullied White House staff, many hid in closets when she walked the halls. So who is the really bully…you know the saying you can take the rat out of the hood but you can’t take the hood out of the rat. Just watch reality TV shows with “accomplished” black “professionals.”

    This is it in a nutshell. The Republican Party is a con. Establishment conservatives had the goal of rejiggering the economy to favor the rich. And because this was never going to a popular message, they could only win votes for this by scaremongering about non-whites and non-Christians, making those people out to be a threat, and then promising to pass bigoted policies to eliminate the threat. And as their economically elitist policies created ever-greater income inequality, people got angrier and angrier, so those establishment conservatives had to keep ratcheting up the hate to deflect the anger away from themselves.

    Well, if you do that long enough, eventually, your bluff will be called. People who believed all the bullshit you've been slinging will demand that you deliver on the racism and xenophobia you kept promising.

    And suddenly, folks like Paul Ryan are acting like they have absolutely no idea how this happened. They are now whining about Republican "tribalism" as furious rednecks call them "cucks" and drive them out of the party while voting for Trump and similar horrible characters. It's really hard to see how this ends, other than the GOP turning into a literal fascist party.

    It's so revealing that Field can't even write his own prose, he has to steal it from The Atlantic.

    But calling this “tribalism” is misleading, because only one side of this divide remotely resembles a coalition based on ethnic and religious lines

    Black voters vote for Dem candidates at upwards of 90%, and that is NOT tribalism?

    only one side has committed itself to a political strategy that relies on stoking hatred and fear of the other.

    Like "all white people are racist"?  Any dem who could write this is a total hypocrite, lacking any shred of introspection.

    Democratic candidates did not attack their white male opponents as dangerous because four white men carried out deadly acts of right-wing terrorism in the two weeks prior to the election.

    Don Lemon:  "So, we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them."

    BTW, the terrorist event in Thousand Oaks was left-wing; dishonorably discharged Marine Ian David Long was a gun-control activist.

    You might still have been something without black tribalism overriding meritocracy, but you fear white tribalism in self-defense.  You are right to fear this, because it means the end of your gravy train.  If white people had anything like the level of racial solidarity that minorities do, it would be our country again... and it will be.  And guess what?  You COULD have eschewed tribalism and race-baiting and avoided this, but you brought it all on yourselves.

    1. any aggregate of people united by ties of descent from a common ancestor, community of customs and traditions, adherence to the same leaders, etc.

    Words mean things, Mike.  Blacks are a tribe, and voting 90+% for Dems is one of their traditions even if the Dems are replacing them with Mexicans.

    "that is voting for the party that doesn’t hate them."

    Getting their unemployment rate down to record-low levels is hating them?  They should all vote for Trump in 2020, because with "haters" like that they sure don't need any Democrat love.

    You’re implying Trump has done something to reduce unemployment, among black people or anyone else. He has not. His only “accomplishment” in this department is that he has (so far) managed not to derail the already-healthy economy he inherited when he took office.

    Here is the U.S. unemployment rate over time. If Trump had done anything useful to improve the economy, we should see a dramatic dip in unemployment, starting in 2017. But we don’t. There is no “Trump dip” in unemployment. It stays on the exact same trajectory it was on before his election.

    Black people have no reason to be grateful for Trump. He hasn’t done jack for them.

    Trump falsely claims there have been widespread irregularities in the Florida vote for governor/senator, and says that this means a recount should not happen. Specifically, he says, “An honest vote count is no longer possible — ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night.”

    Again, this is bullshit. There has been no evidence of any kind of meaningful voting hanky panky.

    But if there had been, and it was to such a degree that ballots were “massively infected” and an “honest vote count” were “impossible,” that would not mean hooray, Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis got elected! It would mean you have to throw out all the ballots and hold brand new elections for those offices.

    this is bullshit. There has been no evidence of any kind of meaningful voting hanky panky.

    - Absentee and early ballots opened in secret despite court order.
    - Ballot totals not reported for either county within 30 minutes of close of polls, as required by Florida law.
    - Failure to report number of uncounted ballots every 45 minutes as required by law.
    - Sworn affidavit of ballots being filled out by election board personnel.
    - Video record of ballots being transferred from private SUV to rented truck.

    There's enough evidence there to put a whole lot of people behind bars for DECADES.

    It would mean you have to throw out all the ballots and hold brand new elections for those offices.

    After telling the cheaters exactly how hard they need to cheat in the re-vote?

    The Associated Press reports that law enforcement and elections monitors have found no evidence of wrongdoing, but Republican lawyers and candidates, along with Trump, have claimed — without evidence — that there have been voter irregularities and fraud, in addition to improper behavior by local voting officials, that cast doubt on the integrity of the process.

    Drumpf and his fat irange mouth always has claims of cheating but never a shred of evidence to back up his lying mouth. Maybe the judge will hit him with contempt charge. He has obstructed justice and poisoned jury pools. What else can he fuck up?

    Trump: Hahaha, I drove that cuck, Jeff Flake, out of the Senate by being an evil ogre.

    Democrats: Hahaha, we won Jeff Flake’s Senate seat. Thanks, man!

    Monica Lewinsky, on Bill Clinton:

    “If you want to know what power looks like, watch a man safely, even smugly, do interviews for decades, without ever worrying whether he will be asked the questions he doesn’t want to answer.”

    Democrats stole Jeff Flake's seat.

    There will be a price to pay.

    Says a lot about Orpha who went “high’ after Michelle went “low” toward Orpha while First Lady. Quality character to love thy neighbor particularly one who spitefully used Orpha; kudos. Perhaps we can learn from Orpha how to respectfully treat those we dislike.

  75. Lewinsky is no victim, even though wingnuts have tried for years to convince Clinton took advantage of her.

    Paula Jones' lawyers fucked her out of a decent settlement by not letting her settle. When they finally did settle her lawyers took the lion's share of her money for keeping her from settling for political reasons.

    Fuck all stoopid fucking wingnuts, especially anymoosees.

  79. From Steve Benen:

    "Law enforcement agencies reported 7,175 hate crimes occurred in 2017, up from 6,121 in 2016. That increase was fueled in part by more police departments reporting hate crime data to the FBI, but overall there is still a large number of departments that report no hate crimes to the federal database.

    The sharp increase in hate crimes in 2017 came even as overall violent crime in America fell slightly, by 0.2 percent, after increases in 2015 and 2016.

    More than half of hate crimes, about 3 out of every 5, targeted a person's race or ethnicity, while about 1 out of 5 targeted their religion."

    Of course it could be. Does not mean that it is, but.....

    Actually, my anime life is full of removing stoopid fucking wingnuts from this planet and placing them in a parallel uni with armed ISIS killers and see who wins.

  87. "The Trump administration closed a diplomatic office designed to keep track of released Guantanamo inmates and make sure they didn't return to their insurgencies. And now the U.S. government has lost track of several of them, including one who has returned to a terrorist-held part of Syria, a McClatchy investigation has found."

  88. I can hear a lot of chainsaws running in the neighborhood. I guess there's nothing like half of a small city being incinerated close enough to put a smoky haze in the air to motivate folks to clear the brush away from their houses like they should have done back in April.
