Bye Bye to the Republican Party

Cord Jefferson has a really great and thoughtful essay about his dad, a black man and a lifelong Republican: “My father spent his whole life living up to the standards Republicans ostensibly expected of him, because that’s what came naturally to him. But he can never be white, and, more and more, that seems to preclude him from inclusion in the party where he once found a home.”
