If the Modern Republicans and Conservative Movement Want People to Stop Calling Them Racists, Maybe They Should Stop Acting Like Racists

What happened with the Titan submersible was a tragedy. I don’t care if the people were rich or poor as others seem to. The fact is that five people died what were very possibly horrific deaths. What I’ve seen from many people over the last few days hasn’t put people from any side of the social and political spectrum in good light. People have been almost giddy to joke about five people dying because they were rich. A number of people, mainly on the right but some on the far left, have twisted news reports about the Navy detecting the sound of a possible implosion to turn that into conspiracies to fit their political narratives. One largely failed conservative-leaning actor even figured out a way to make a bad joke about their death in order to let everyone know for the millionth time that he really hates the Clintons.

But the response that has surprised me the most, even though it shouldn’t, is the fairly unified message from the conservative media, the conservative punditry, and the conservative social media influencers that the real lesson here is the dangers of “woke” and of hiring black people.

Remember When Conservatives Warned Us About Obama?

If you were alive, awake, and politically aware back in the days of Obama’s presidency, you probably remember more than a few Republicans and conservatives breathlessly warning us about the evils that the Obama administration wanted to inflict upon America. The lists of crimes and evils they would natter on about was long and impressive and, frankly, more than a little scary if they had actually been telling the truth. But they weren’t telling the truth about Obama and the things he wanted to do to America and, as with so many other things, once the Republicans and conservatives were given enough time they proved that all their warnings were just them projecting their desires onto others and, as is typical with them, they were actually warning us about what they wanted to do.
