Democrats in an election year. You can almost set your watch by them. The only thing more predictable is the sun rising and setting. Every two and four years, they return to the old tried and true playbook: “Vote for us because the Republicans are racist, sexist, bigoted homophobes.” It is a textbook scare tactic designed to play on the fears of minority communities. Unfortunately, in many cases, it works. But this election year, as the Democrat Party finds itself hemorrhaging minority support, the racial scare tactics are on steroids. The latest attack on Republicans is not only predictable but is extraordinarily nervy.
