Basically, small time Dem candidate in Texas got a certain amount of hype and buzz by playing the victim of racism....and it turned out he was behind the racist statements and attacks against himself online.

While simultaneously pathetic and hilarious, I get it. It's like being one of these rappers who was never in a gang, never arrested, and did time. He's running as a victim of the evil racist right...but was never a victim of the evil racist right. Like Smollett...he fabricated his victimhood for personal gain.

At the same time one wonders just how quickly racism in the US might die down if the left ran on issues and not grievances and victimhood.

Thoughts?

I have no doubts at all that there are far too many people making way too much money while also having access to political power because they have been running on the issues OF grievances and victimhood.

I see people who do these sort of people as opportunists. They have no moral compass, nor are they concerned with society as a whole. Their only concern is to leverage whatever advantage they can for themselves. They do much more to hurt the cause they supposedly champion, than those who openly work against it.
We seemed to have progressed from "I'm holier than thou", to "I'm richer than thou", to "I'm more persecuted than thou". It is all pretty pathetic; though apparently it can be quite effective if you're not caught.

Which is a shame because actual wolves and actual racism are a thing.
