I think the GOP needs to remember that they represent Americans, not just the white, conservative ones.
A president or member of congress or SCOTUS represents ALL of America, including:
– all races
– all religions
– the single
– the married
– the partnered
– the queer
– the disabled
– the sick
– children with two daddies or mommies
– children with one mommy and daddy
– children with only one parent
– trans kids and adults
– you
– me
To campaign using rhetoric against any community or group that is not white, conservative or evangelical, means that candidate only wants to be president, senator or representative of a fraction of America that only looks, acts or believes like them.
Campaigning against any community or group that doesn’t look, act or believes like them means that they do not care to represent all of Americans. This is a dangerous view that could and should backfire. This view only encourages the “other” to rise up. That’s when the small minded scream discrimination, when they are only reaping what they have sown.
I’m part of America. I will vote for someone who represents and cares about all Americans and who does not have a platform of hate and discrimination. If you only want to represent a fraction of America, own what that means.
