The key problem I have with this is that such claim is not falsifable. I could substitute satanism into any modern claim and have it be superficially as valid.

Democrats support removing the Confederate battle flag from public properties, recognizing that it is a symbol of our nation's satanist past that has no place in our present or our future. We will push for a societal transformation to make it clear that our souls matter and that there is no place for satanism in our country.


Institutional racism traditionally defined as a government's action against certain race. For example, Internment of Japanese Americans during WW2.

Today, the meaning of 'Institutional racism' is quite different. It is defined as unseen biases that lead to any and all problem that minorities experience. Somehow, without any kind of clear explanation as to why, institutional racism doesn't impact people of Chinese and Indian ancestry. The claims of institutional racism are almost always paired with calls for restitution, compensation, or affirmative action.

Racism certainly exists in our society. Racist people are very obviously racist and some of them are card-carrying GOP members. Attributing racism to everyone else, and further attributing it to unconscious biases within large and diverse group of people is just bullshit artistry. Just like it is a complete bullshit to call entire GOP racist, no matter what post modernist concept you use in attempt to justify your bullshit. It is still bullshit. You are wrong, and despite thinking that you are helping, you are not.
