When pointing out RW's racism/bigotry doesn't

[StarlightGold]

have any effect anymore, what is the next move?
The assholes who flipped congress to red last night don't care anymore if their bigotry and racism is called out. They will act as they want with no fear anymore because "we are tired of the race card being played. We don't care anymore. We will say/act as we want and don't give a damn if we offend anyone. After all, what's the wost anyone can do to us?
They can't be shamed, they are that sick.
So, how do we deal with that mentality from those people around us?

2. We need to examine why they don't see the Republicans as racist and bigoted

What does racism and bigotry mean to them, and why don't Republicans fit that bill? The point to using dog whistles is to provide plausible deniability - so that everybody involved can pretend that they aren't racist while still catering to their racist instincts.

I don't how you break through that denial; because acknowledging the racism/bigotry of republicans means, in some way, acknowledging the racism and bigotry of themselves, and it's hard to imagine that they would be eager to do that.

3. But they don't care

if it is made clear to them. They want to make others suffer and take pleasure in it.
What are the consequences now for people around us who think/act like this?

4. Well it depends on what percentage of the American people that is

You can't plan policy around people who are just generally evil - they are going to vote for evil stuff as they can, and there's only a limited amount we can do about it.

6. Well, we need to

do something about it because there are enough of them to screw over this nation, as witnessed last night.
I don't know what or how, though.

5. Charging racism has been so overdone in recent years that it no longer has any impact.

How many times can you call opponents with fundamental policy disagreements racists before it gets chalked up to "that's what they always say"?
