      Oliver, typically, did not read the thread & illustrates why, when someone like @cjane87 says "this is a genuine, good-faith question about which I am genuinely curious," you get a flood of responses like this from people to whom good faith & genuine curiosity are alien concepts. https://twitter.com/owillis/status/1151159602798649346 …

      But you never even tried to answer her question.

      I explained why the question is difficult for any one person to answer or solve even with the best of intentions. Then the flood of ignorant rage-mobbers into my mentions perfectly illustrated my point.

      The question remains: for the sake of brevity, we have two groups, non-white voters and white voters. We’re very worried about what the second group finds insulting (being accused of being racist) but not so worried about the first group (which receives racism).

      If we are discussing this as a matter of electoral politics & punditry, the answer is very simple: people think (based on the evidence of recent elections) that the second group contains many voters who are persuadable by both political parties, and the first group does not.

          I wonder what has occurred that may have made that first group such a tough nut to crack?

          If you're in the first group, your activist leaders expect you to not be persuadable. See Ayanna Pressly, re: faces/voices. Is this a gradation of racism?

          I think this should be a moment of introspection here about the Republican party's priorities and messaging

          Maybe, just bear with me here, its because one of the political parties makes literally no effort to persuade, or even empathize with, the first group. And you constantly underscore that issue with your own commentary.
