Calling people racists just for disagreeing with you though? Totally not a cliche. That one is a novelty.
You all act the same way when you have nothing to say, you resort to these cheap non-arguments against the messenger, against the
tone of the message, the
form, etc. That way you can avoid the debate because the truth is not on your side.
I am surprised you haven't pulled out the "It is the current year!" card out of your pocket to drive your point home, you know, "It is the 2016 man! how can people still believe in borders! lmao"
All I am saying is it isnt working anymore, 50 years of this fanatic bullshit made everyone resistant so you need to up your game or update your vocabulary. No matter how much you twist the truth the truth will catch up with you eventually. You can call only half of America primitive and racist for so long.
You're still doing it! Let me try to tackle the original post. Two posts is too much for me.
"At this point 40% of America realized already that the word "racist" is just a buzzword to silence dissent."
The 40% figure represents Trump supporters, I'm assuming. Are you saying that all, or even most of those people think racism is just a buzzword? Yes, "racism" can be and is used that way, some of the time. But does 40% of the electorate believe that's all it is, a liberal buzzword to silence dissent?
"People don't buy the binary world view anymore where anything short from total open borders and handing "welcome refugee!" happy meals is neonazism. The left is going to have to come up with a new vocabulary or a new strategy because this one is spent."
Where and when did (does) this binary view of immigration exist? Immigration policy/practice has always been on a continuum between exclusion and inclusion, avoiding the extremes.
Contra the right-wing trope of "open the gates let 'em in" democrats, total deportations under Obama have been higher than any previous president, except for Bush 43, whose numbers were about the same. But the number of returning deportees is much lower under Obama. [

"There are still another 60% unconvinced, among them there are still a few Hillary voters... mostly Tumblrinas, low T men, and old spinsters who read XoJane and didn't get the memo that being a lefty is no longer fashionable."
The 60% are those who almost certainly won't vote for Trump, and that figure seems to be increasing over time. Most of them will vote for Hillary, perhaps without much enthusiasm, simply because Trump is beyond the pale. Note that I said Trump, not his followers or their politics. The issues of the 40% will have to be addressed, but that's not going to happen with candidates like Trump. As for the rest of the quote, I can't understand half of it, much less take it seriously.
"And of course they will call the 40% of fed up americans all the names under the sun, but when they are done insulting Trump voters, the truth will still be the truth, and they will still vote for Trump."
I give credit to Trump for one thing, which is elevating the importance and visibility of the issues motivating "The 40%." That's because so many moderates and leftists have been at a total loss to understand why some people support a flawed candidate like Trump, so there have been many articles and books written, and there will likely soon be academic conferences (if not already). And I think these issues will begin to be taken seriously as they are better understood and appreciated. Part of the urgency is avoiding someone else like Trump four years from now. So, I think the mistake you make is thinking that "the establishment" will reject, "insult" or co-opt the 40% (though I'm sure that will happen to some degree). What they reject, and what most Americans reject, is the style of politics, the character, and the qualifications of Trump.
Assuming Trump does not win, his political campaign actually may have done the country a service by lighting a fire under the establishment to start taking the issues seriously. A more conventional candidate probably couldn't have generated the attention and consternation Trump has.
