I blame them for being republican-lite but go off.

You win politics by slowly moving the needle, making the other side unviable.

Our mistake was not being zero tolerance for southern racism.

Why would that have looked like? Hopefully less pandering to Republicans.

It would look more or less like what the Republicans have been doing, relentlessly pushing to the right because the left is fractured and can be counted on to never unite.

The evangelicals hate Liberals so much they decided Trump is the ultimate Christian.

That is unstoppable political power, and it doesn't exist on the left.
