This is a big breakthrough. The ‘pivot’ that we’ve all been expecting since 2015. Nobody actually believes any of it, but may-hap that’s not to the point.
The GOP racial talking-points-of-the-week do look good in print and in the video clips. The insincerity of politicians is a given. Hearing anyone speak out against white supremacy and bigotry is a good thing.
I seriously doubt any non-racist voters are suddenly going to flock to the GOP. The Republicans’ reputation for race baiting and prejudice is firmly established and is an institutional fact – it’s the very reason they ‘won’ the presidency and do so well in the ‘heartland’.
A whole lotta bigots are going to be absolutely sickened by the anti-racist meme the GOP is pushing, and it only gets worse once Tяump is gone. These bigots will never vote moderate, and certainly not for Democratic party candidates, but the Tяumpistas are just as unlikely to transfer their loyalty to the newly ‘woke’ GOP.
Republicans are damned to a reduced voter base even as they faux repent. Best of both worlds for Democrats and those seeking social fair play.
