There are many people still alive today whose parents and grandparents taught them to resist racial integration at all costs.  Do not doubt for a minute that our 80 year old President told his kids to avoid being in a racial jungle. We know he told the voters of Delaware that.  How much more would someone Hunter Biden's age, who grew up in Virginia, have heard?
When you say "those are not the traditional values they mean" and "traditional values evolve," how are you any different from the liberals and progressives?
This is why, as I said at the beginning, conservatives must be very specific about which values we uphold.  Family values yes.  Strong work ethic yes.  Tolerance yes. Etc. Those are all more specific. "Traditional values" is such a big basket that it is a dog whistle for those values you don't want to include.

Conservatives have to specifically define themselves so you don’t deem them racist?  Meanwhile most of the regulars on this forum can figure out what the poster is referring to after years of interaction.  It’s only the progressive types that jump instantly to “you want slavery and segregation”.  For the umpteeth time this reflects more on you than anyone else.
