It ought to be no surprise that, these days, leftists are fond of tarring run-of-the-mill conservatives as racist, sexist, bigoted homphobes. What ought to be at least mildly more surprising is that many of the same folks engaged in these calumnious character assassinations are sometimes fond of lambasting routine belief in limited government measures — as opposed to traditionalist views on highly sensitive cultural issues — as necessarily being “racist.”
Lee Drutman is a Senior Fellow in the Political Reform Program at New America, and is one of the scholars affiliated with the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group — which describes itself as a “research collaboration of more than two dozen analysts and scholars from across the political spectrum examining and delivering insights on the evolving views of American voters.” In June 2017, Drutman published an election postmortem, entitled, “Political Divisions in 2016 and Beyond.” Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro referred to the postmortem in a recent podcast episode.
