good thing they've isolated most of their voter base by obsessing on race and wedge issues - a liberal, registered democrat who voted trump and wrote in during both obama elections

Republican white identity politics isn't any better than the Democrat identity politics. Considering Democrats lost a huge portion of their base after trying to get rid of colored fountains -- its safe to say that southern whites started all this shit to begin with.
I think who put it best was Lee Atwater in 1988:

(The sound quality sucks... but it was fucking 1988 what do you expect?)
Edit: You can't expect the talking heads on the MSM to lead the charge in the wealth distribution conversation...there millionaires in the pockets of billionaires.
They want to talk about Race and Gays. As Tom Brokaw put it:

Then I got a job in Atlanta at a very big station and then immediately I got hired to be in Los Angeles. It’s the biggest issue of my life. Frankly, it really is. You know, I get emotionally. I think mostly because of all the good things that have happened to me and when I do say that if I had been one shade darker, I wouldn’t have gotten any of those jobs at that time.” Then he emphasizes, “One shade darker!”

It doesn't seem to bother him that there are a million other reasons he may never have been some talking head that is now getting 8 million a year to do...basically nothing. All the fucker ever did was read from a teleprompter while looking good. He doesn't even do that anymore! As long as there are a few blacks and women doing it with him -- he's ok with the system. That's where these guys are at.
