What is the reasoning behind this strange behavior? Seriously. It seems like everywhere I turn, Democrats (mainly white, obnoxious liberals) are accusing something/someone of being racist. It clearly isn't, however I would argue that this attitude is actually creating more racism in the world while erasing progress we've made to make all races equal.

I think Fox Mulder could add an interesting perspective here.

The race card is the easiest & laziest way to "win" an argument or make a point. They know it helps keep certain voting blocs behind them.

Democrats believe everything is racism because

a) it riles up and keeps the base motivated

b) by pushing the narrative that racism is still a systematic part of society, it makes it easier for democrats to get their hands on the system and change it into their image.

Seems it started with civil rights but they never advanced with the times. They're still living in the 50s.

It usually shuts down dialogue.
And I find that many contemporary liberals don't care to discuss; they would rather accuse and bully.
So it's a means of preventing meaningful discourse.

This.

It stops all arguments because the accusation, no matter how baseless, is always some irrefutable conclusion. It's the virtue signaling zenith.

If you understand Critical Theory and it's goal of deconstruction of the institutions of Western Civilization, then every single thing "Progressives" do will make sense.

Projection. Democrats have been dividing people along racial lines since there have been democrats. Other groups have been added as time has gone on (women, lgbt) which the also view by their demographic, rather than people, and Americans.

The reason that their only solution to racism is racism, is that is what they know. Same with bigotry, elitism, arrogance, superiority, and ignorance.

They've turned the exposure of racism into a virtue so saying the words "you're racist" is a self affirmation of their self righteousness.

It was the easiest way.

That attitude is out the window.

When you don't have any reasoning or thoughtful roadmap...You resort to Dave Barry's tips on how to win any argument...It is amazing how the Left has adopted a made-up comedy rountine as their blueprint.

It's scary how close Dave Barry's jokes turned into the liberal blueprint.

How to Win Arguments; By Dave Barry

(this used to be a joke...a funny joke about how absurd people can be.)

Liberals adopted it! Literally Hitler!

1. Make things up.


Suppose, in the Peruvian economy argument, you are trying to prove Peruvians are underpaid, a position you base solely on the fact that YOU are underpaid, and you're damned if you're going to let a bunch of Peruvians be better off.

DON'T say: "I think Peruvians are underpaid." Say: "The average Peruvian's salary in 1981 dollars adjusted for the revised tax base is $1,452.81 per annum, which is $836.07 before the mean gross poverty level."

NOTE: Always make up exact figures.
If an opponent asks you where you got your information, make THAT up, too. Say: "This information comes from Dr. Hovel T. Moon's study for the Buford Commission published May 9, 1982. Didn't you read it?" Say this in the same tone of voice you would use to say "You left your soiled underwear in my bath house."

Use meaningless but weightly-sounding words and phrases.

Memorize this list: Let me put it this way In terms of Vis-a-vis Per se As it were Qua So to speak
You should also memorize some Latin abbreviations such as "Q.E.D.," "e.g.," and "i.e." These are all short for "I speak Latin, and you do not."

Use snappy and irrelevant comebacks.

You need an arsenal of all-purpose irrelevant phrases to fire back at your opponents when they make valid points.

The best are: You're begging the question. You're being defensive. Don't compare apples and oranges. What are your parameters?

This last one is especially valuable. Nobody, other than mathematicians, has the vaguest idea what "parameters" means. Here's how to use your comebacks:

Compare your opponent to Adolf Hitler.


This is your heavy artillery, for when your opponent is obviously right and you are spectacularly wrong. Bring Hitler up subtly. Say: "That sounds suspiciously like something Adolf Hitler might say" or "You certainly do remind me of Adolf Hitler."
So that's it: you now know how to out-argue anybody. Do not try to pull any of this on people who generally carry weapons.

Yeah, amazing how all the white supremacy and white nationalist groups have flocked to the Democrats.

And there you have it: the typical, lazy, liberal rejoinder.
