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