I hope they prove me wrong but I have a feeling the articles that will come out of this and their tone will be decidedly condescending, dismissive, and all about how wrong these people are.
They will find biscuits and gravy or grits to be racist or some example of white privilege and will send in some ****** Muslim illegal couple to order a wedding cake made of flax seed, with CNN cameras rolling, only to get the expected "we don't make flax seed cakes" from the Christian owners, who will be summarily denigrated and tarred and feathered until their business is bankrupt and they are compared to Hitler's progeny.
Sounds crazy, but this is not far from the truth today.

"Fellow progressive journalists, let's stop being insulting and condescending and start patiently teaching these poor ignorant idiots!"
This must be the new hotness theme of the week in the DNC.

This article is so hilariously condescending that its like the author was a troll from The Onion that got one past the USA Today editor.
Quote:To win in Trump era, liberals must first listen to his voters
Andrew Redlawsk, Opinion Contributor Published 8:15 a.m. ET July 23, 2017 | Updated 10:40 a.m. ET July 23, 2017
For opponents of President Trump, finding out that a friend supports him can be shocking and difficult to deal with. But to spread their message, liberals should listen, not condescend.
The other night, I had an amazing conversation with a friend who admitted he was a Donald Trump voter. Having known him for most of my life, I was shocked. But as a result, as a proud member of The Resistance, I'm even more certain that we progressives are largely responsible for the rise of Trump's America.
My typical response to conservatives who see me as a smug, elitist hypocrite for not being tolerant of their beliefs is that I'm "intolerant of intolerance,” but I’ve realized that that mistake is the issue. No, we don't have to accept and respect others' bigotry or ignorance, but it's incredibly important that we understand where it comes from and why it exists. There are millions of people in this country who, when they think of America, think of it like a Norman Rockwell painting. White Picket Fences, Suburbia, Baseball, Apple Pie and the American Flag. In capital letters.
They don’t just think it, they feel it. Deeply.
If I'm honest, those are the same images that were burned into my brain as a kid growing up in Iowa. The folks who voted for Trump are by and large people who see progressivism, and specifically concepts like political correctness and intersectionalism, as an attack on all of those deeply held feelings of what America "is." To them, our movement is an assault on their Field of Dreams. They're afraid of losing their (yes, white and Christian) America in the tidal wave of cultural shifts that have occurred over recent decades.
Is calling them racist going to change that? Is calling them bigots going to do it? Hateful? Monsters? Ignorant? Uneducated? Privileged? We don’t have to agree with it, but we have to attempt to understand it.
I voted for Donald Trump to save lives: Response to Redlawsk
Trump voters and foes can seek common ground on life: Response to Buono
The only way The Resistance succeeds is if we fundamentally change our tactics. We must realize that the way into these hearts is to respectfully suggest that the causes we fight for actually align with their deeply held patriotism and love for America. That yes, our marginalized communities may look different and speak a different language, but they want all the same things you do, and they want to have them in this incredible country we've built together. They also want to have their Field of Dreams. That’s why they came here in the first place! And isn't it the American Way to do everything we can to give them that opportunity?
But what this also means is that we as progressives need to stop getting so offended by everything and learn to put ourselves in others' shoes. All of our experiences — conservatives and progressives alike — give us unique perspectives, and it is absolutely unhelpful to say things like "it's not our job to teach you" when someone comes to us with questions.
Actually, it is our job...

That's probably about spot on, and what we rubes hear on this very site on a regular basis. Bunch unedumacated cave dwellers. Course we'd kick that asss too on any regular basis. Lather rinse repeat.
Too freaking funny.
