“Stop calling us racists. Stop calling us idiots. We aren’t. Listen to us when we try to tell you why we aren’t. Oh, and stop making fun of us.”
This is after many have said things like "He is anti-immigration", "He will preserve our culture", "He is anti-abortion". If you believe these things, then yes your are racist. If you believe these things, then yes you are for the patriarchy. You might not realize you are xenophobic, racist, and sexist, but that doesn't mean you aren't. There is no rational argument for those things and we have to stop pretending that hate is up for debate.
The left in no way should back down from calling them for what they are.
I've never understood the fear of the left taking away the second amendment. All my coastal elite progressive friends enjoy going to shooting ranges and at worst want thorough background checks and possibly a ban on high capacity magazines.
Post-Trump, many progressive people of color are arming themselves out of fear of white nationalists. None of them want a gun ban.
