There’s a post that I really like about the ways in which Harry Potter is the liberal dream because Voldemort is eventually overthrown by a technicality, and that they’re trying to find that technicality. I think this is an incredibly good conception of liberal strategy, and is even more relevant now with Stormy Daniels’s public statement that she, a porn actress, had a sexual relationship with Trump.

Liberals are in a perpetual search to find a population so hated that even an unproven link between Trump and that group will cost Trump the presidency. And so there will inevitably now be a marked increase in anti-sex-work rhetoric from Democrats and liberals, because the possibility of catching Trump on this requires them to loudly remind conservatives how much they hate sex workers and how disgusting they think sex work is and to fan the flames of that hatred until it spills over and, they hope, affects Trump. But it’s not going to affect Trump, it’s just going to affect sex workers.

The fact that the liberal platform frequently involves tactics like “try to pressure conservatives into living up to their prejudicial rhetoric” might be an indication that liberalism doesn’t actually care about oppressed people!!!
