Haha, yeah. Everyone knows that racism, sexism and general bigotry disappeared when Obama was elected!
Oh they still exist, but there are a few problems. One is that it seems progressives have deluded themselves into thinking sexism, racism, etc. only exist in ample amounts on the other side. This is delusional, that is some "the earth is flat" type of delusion. They legitimately don't feel these things are problems on their side.
Another problem is that these days whenever a democrat who is a minority or a woman loses a race or drops out of a race they blame sexism or racism. Or if it is a minority who also have a vagina they sadly blame both. This is damaging *because* sexism and racism still exist. It is damaging in the same way a woman lying about rape is damaging, it hurts real victims of rape.
So if they care so much about sexism and racism I can't figure out why they essentially want to cheapen the words and strip them of all meaning.
