Republicans went all-in for racism in 2018 -- and it crushed them
Racism was the Republican Party's message in 2018. It lost, big.
Republicans made a major bet in 2018 that tightly embracing racism would pay off for them just as well as it has in the past.
Instead, it helped the GOP lose 40 House seats in the midterm elections and sent them back into the minority.
A stunning 90 percent of the House seats that Republicans held on to will be occupied by white men. Democrats broke new ground for racial and gender diversity in the House — while House Republicans actually lost 43 percent of the women in their caucus.
And when you look back on the year in racism for Republicans in 2018, it’s clear that the GOP is determined to be the party that represents white men, and only white men. - ShareBlue
