Narratives vs Facts

So by analogy...

"Why do Democrats need Republicans to be considered "racists" in order for them to maintain THEIR vision for society?"

...but for the presence of Republicans, America could be made 'perfect'...

"The most efficient lies are lies which reproduce only factual data."

-Slavoj Zizek 

...in a Society of the Spectacle (Guy Debord)
"The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among persons, mediated by images.

The spectacle, understood in its totality, is both the result and the project of the existing mode of production.

It is not a supplement to the real world, its superadded decoration. It is the heart of the unrealism of the real society.

In all its particular forms, information or propaganda, advertising or direct consumption of entertainment, the spectacle constitutes the present model of socially dominant life.

It is the omnipresent affirmation of the choice already made in production, and its corollary consumption."

- Guy Debord

Democrats, laid bare:

"You n*ggers are too stupid to identify racists so we have to point them out everywhere for you."

I would have gone with...

"Don't look for the real racists, or you'll find us"
