Trump has made clear his intention to use racism as his 2020 campaign strategy. Are other Republican officials going to stay quiet or dance around the issue that whole time? How did defending such a basic American value — equality — become so hard for these guys?
Seriously. When was the last time you heard a Republican official make a full-throated defense of equality? Our whole system of self-government is predicated upon the truth that we’re all of equal worth, yet they literally cannot even say that word.
This reflects profound intellectual and moral corruption of GOP leadership supported by a segment of the party that has expanded under Trump’s leadership and — even while recognizing its preexisting problems — made the party unrecognizable and harmful to the nation’s interests.
The GOP is in desperate need of new leadership and a renewal driven by our basic values, truth and decency.
