Let’s suppose you were a Democrat who secretly wanted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to become our next president. What would you do?
Call America an irredeemably racist nation.
DeSantis has become the rhetorical general of America’s new culture war, repeatedly saying that evil left-wingers want to teach kids that the country is racist. His claim is mostly a canard, cooked up to provide red meat for Fox News. A small but influential subset of people on the left really do believe in America’s inherent racism, however, which plays directly into DeSantis’ hands.
