    Most conservatives are socially minded … the only difference is that they want all those socially minded ideas to only apply to their particular ethnic or racial group and no one else. To them, every other racial group should serve their social agenda for their people’s benefit.

        If you think about it, social democracy historically was also moreso for this purpose, although moreso citizenship based.

          Throwing others under the bus is an easy way to turn racists into political allies. It was a popular strategy in the first rise of fascism for obvious reasons, for example the Greek party wanted to genocide Turkey to Make Greece Great Again. FDR’s coalition was put together under the premise that black people wouldn’t get the same benefits, etc etc etc.

          It’s also why even the best kind of liberal can’t be trusted, much less your Newsome types

      Trump’s social group would be super-rich white people. I can’t really see how Mamdani caters to that group unless he’s just lying about his entire platform.
