"The white supremacist rhetoric opens up a slippery slope whereby eventually one may be charged with racism simply for the "crime" of being white, and certainly for the crime of being a Southern white. Kamala Harris played the race card in her primary debate with candidate Joe Biden. Just because he was a white male who had opposed busing, on legitimate grounds, he was deemed a racist. Presumably, she could not have made that charge against a black who had opposed busing, as many did. Then, during the campaign, she repeatedly suggested that President Trump was a white supremacist or had ties to or sympathized with white supremacists.
"One assumes that V.P. Harris does not now consider President Biden a racist — not, at least, until it becomes politically expedient to do so. At that moment, perhaps when she wishes to remove him from office, she might play the race card again.

Other situations are perfectly suited to the white supremacist charge. The retrial of George Floyd's killer, the shooting of Asian-Americans in the Atlanta area, resistance to the expansion of federal gun control laws after several recent mass shootings — those who oppose the left's script are immediately characterized as white supremacists.
