Carl Higbie used his Newsmax platform this week to call out what he calls a deliberate, ugly strategy from the political left: stoking racial animosity to win votes. It was blunt, it was pointed, and it is exactly the kind of media moment that tells you this is no longer about debate — it’s about division.
The left’s race-baiting playbook, plain and simple
On his show Carl Higbie argued that Democrats and the left lean on race as a political weapon. That is not a wild claim floated in the dark — it’s the mainstay of modern partisan theater. When the left can’t sell ideas on their merits, they shift the stage lights to race and identity and hope the crowd cheers without thinking.
Media bias and the echo chamber
News outlets sympathetic to the left often amplify the same message, which creates an echo chamber where blame and grievance are recycled nonstop. Instead of honest arguments about jobs, schools, or safety, viewers get culture-war scripts. If the goal is to govern, this tactic is a poor one. If the goal is to keep a base angry and tuned in, then sure — it works like clockwork.
Why voters and communities should reject division
Race-baiting doesn’t help the very people its defenders claim to protect. It fractures communities, scares away investment, and turns real problems into political props. Conservatives should make a clear case for unity, opportunity, and local control — real solutions that lift people up rather than tear them apart for a talking point.
Demand better politics — and call out bad actors
Higbie’s message is a reminder that voters can notice tactics as well as policies. Call out the games. Reward clear ideas and promote leaders who seek common ground, not permanent conflict. The next time Democrats trot out division as a strategy, don’t watch the circus — refuse the ticket.
