regarding jason l. riley<u+2019>s <u+201c> democrats are obsessed with race. trump isn<u+2019>t <u+201d> (upward mobility, nov. 23): who uses words like <u+201c>racist,<u+201d> <u+201c>sexist,<u+201d> <u+201c>fascist<u+201d> and <u+201c>xenophobic<u+201d>? answer: a liberal who is losing an argument, a liberal who has lost an argument or a liberal whose candidates and political party have lost in a national election. liberals have no use for facts, reason, logic and common sense, which hillary clinton ignored to her cost and donald trump hammered on to win the presidency along with republican congressional and state candidates. if the democratic party refuses to change its preconceived view of the world and national events and labels those who disagree as <u+201c>deplorables,<u+201d> it will be the minority party for a long time. david p. carter seminole, fla. i would add that few in the media seem to appreciate the tactical risks of portraying mr. trump as hitler<u+2019>s second coming. the lower you set expectations, the easier it is to exceed them. if no new narrative emerges, all mr. trump will need to do to win re-election is to create a few jobs and not set up any concentration camps. elise matich arlington, va.
