Tonight, I heard an NPR segment about how many white people in America are tired of being called racist for voting Republican.

The assembled pundits expounded eloquently about how “toxic” it is for them to constantly be bombarded with the assertion that their alignment with the GOP is based solely on white supremacy.

Further, they warned “activists on the Left” to be cautious about a corrosive political tactic that would surely drive these people deeper into solidarity with Donald Trump and his surrogates and ensure Republican victories in 2022 and 2024.

The conclusion of the conversation seemed to be that white people who voted for Trump a second time (even after his violent, predatory, disfigured four-year body of work) are tired of being labeled bigots and we should be nicer to them.

Garbage.

1. K&R for John Pavlovitz

He is exceptional, in part, because so few White Christians are calling out those in their ranks who are complicit in the racism that reeks in today's Republican Party.

2. Suggestion for people who don't want to be called racist.

Stop voting for people who have a racist agenda.
Stop identifying with people who openly embrace racist ideals.
Speak out against the actions and words of racists.
