So what can Biden do to address the concerns of the white Christians that the left plans to send them to concentration camps for re-education? Here are some suggestions:
- ENGAGE DIRECTLY ON THE SUBJECT: In the past, the left has refused to take the right’s cultural concerns seriously. That’s a mistake. The issue should be addressed clearly and specifically; otherwise, the right will continue to assume the worst, and the wounds will fester.
- DON’T POKE THE BEAR: Gratuitous attempts to score culture war points for the blue team don’t go over well in red America. Do your best to avoid them; that’s what “unity” is all about.
- DON’T SET UP CONCENTRATION CAMPS: Well, duh.
The irony here is that the GOP did unexpectedly well with Hispanics in the election–even with some Mexican-Americans around the Texas border. That gives Republicans some incentive to downplay the racism in the future, which would help a bit. The more the GOP enjoys a vested interest in the system as it is supposed to exist, the less likely we will see a reprise of January 6.
