^^ how many worker protections and bring the jobs back shit have we got? Other than bullshit tax breaks for projects that probably won't see the light of day (stargate). We got a lot of anti woke stuff at colleges though so winning I guess.

^ I'm not totally online I just play one on TV. Most of my hobbies are outside.

I'm gonna be honest I've lost the thread of your argument/point so I'm gonna bow out

Republicans use social issues (trans) so the political conversation stays around whether a 50 year old dude should be in a girls bathroom and not, why is housing and college education so much more expensive relative to the median income than it was 30 years ago.

They don't even have to win the argument of trans, just deflect it away from cost of living. They win by Fox News running trans stories instead of #occupy stories.

....makes it sound like you think it's appropriate to ignore racism, because calling it out might offend racists.

Do you think that 99.99% of all refugees coming in are white South Africans is just a random sample, and not indicative of a racial bias?

I would concede your point were this an example of faux racism. You act as though you want to attack ALL accusations of racism, because it might hurt somebody's feelings.
