People who vote Republican will again be painted as racists; impartial to fascism, Glenn Greenwald suggested

As new polling shows a majority of Americans believe President Biden is "incompetent" amid a struggling economy and spiking inflation, independent journalist Glenn Greenwald said Monday the left and the mainstream media
are gearing up to double down on their blame game.
Greenwald referenced 2016 - when Democrats struggled to grapple with
Hillary Clinton's upset loss to Donald Trump - saying that instead of
seeking introspect on to constructively campaign in future elections, the left sought to blame everyone from Green Party nominee Jill Stein to
Russia to the American people for their failure.
"The Democrats lost an election they never expected to lose. They
basically lost to a reality TV show host when Hillary Clinton had all the backing of the establishment in the world. And instead of asking, what is
it about our ideology that ruled the country for eight years, that drove people away from us into Donald Trump's arms, they instead decided they
were going to blame everybody else," he said.
With spiking commodity prices, an energy crisis and war abroad, Democrats
are again using the same playbook in the November midterms, Greenwald
said.
"The Democrats simply replaced Trump with the same ideology they governed with for 8 years under Obama that caused people to run away from them as
fast as they could," he said. "And now that people are doing that again, instead of asking ‘why is that happening’ they're getting poised to blame
the electorate for being stupid -- for thinking the economy's bad when
it's actually good."
"And ultimately they'll just say there were ‘too racist’ to vote for Democrats."
Greenwald said the media is "priming" people to believe the perceived
slump the country is in is "because you're too dumb to understand your own lives."
If those Americans vote for the GOP, he predicted, the blame will again be
on them "because either you don't care about racism or you don't care
about fascism."
Greenwald said he did not think the electorate would be persuaded by Democrat's arguments when they're "looking at the reality of their own lives."
