The "don't talk about social issues" strategy only works if you *admit that was your strategy after the fact*. We're in this doom loop where Democrats try something, gaslight themselves into believing they didn't try it, then decide to try it again.
"if we just don't talk about it, they can't hit us for talking about it" has been thoroughly discredited but we're going to keep trying it because the point was always that party elites/centrist Dems don't want to talk about those things, not whether it was good strategy/messaging to do so!

I think it's a belief that some people might vaguely hold, but that the far more important impulse is just simple anti arab sentiment. And that rapture talk kinda of functions as a fun curiosity distracting from more practical and important neo-conservative reasons for American Zionism
