THE PROBLEM OF CONSERVATIVE MORALISM

by John Mark

The comments on this post about nonwhite voters are a fantastic example of moralistic wishful thinking (by right wingers).

“I am/know a Hispanic/black who votes Red!” (Anecdotal)

“The non-whites are learning and abandoning the Left! Polls said Trump’s approval among blacks was up!” (Midterm voting stats say otherwise)

“Don’t be racist!” (Moralistic losing strategy)

“We can teach them!” (Zero evidence that is true on large scale)

“We have to retake control of education!” (How, exactly? Not realistic within current system)

“Whites have to have more babies!” (We are not going to outbreed the hordes. Not realistic.)

“We have to move into blue areas and turn them purple!” (Literally no one is going to carry out this strategy.)
