    Personally, I do not think it is fair to label a Trump voter a racist. I understand that Trump is a racist ****er and I do not disagree with that sentiment. However, there is a small percentage of those voters that were looking for something different in a president, besides your typical politician and I guess Trump represented that for them. At least now, you have individuals that have realized the mistake they made, which is great.

    However, there is still a percentage of Trump voters that voted for "republican ideals", not so much for Trump. Unfortunately for them, Trump comes with the package. I don't think it is fair to label these individuals as racist (and yes, I understand they chose to vote for Trump, therefore being labeled a racist is a byproduct of them voting for him [and likely voting for him again]). I think people are lost in party ideology and do not actually care to look at the issues. We have a ton of ignorant people in this country that are simply headline readers or listen to whatever memes feed them on facebook. I think it is unfair for us to continue to be divided and I think it is stupid to call people racists when they are not that, regardless if the person voted for represents that. My take is sit out the election rather than voting for that fraud, but as mentioned before, party ideology is a real thing and people have this inexplicable pride about representing their party.

    It was a rhetorical and nuanced question, I also acknowledged she was doing it for clicks.

    Capiche?

    So her mom can't be racist?

    My Grandmother also voted for Trump and she was racist.

    Her mom was also on crack so being proud is a 2 way street.

    guys who only care about money and don’t care who it is that’s making them richer or people looking for a come-up like Diamond and Silk would be my guess

    also the incredibly ignorant people who easily fall for propaganda...we have morons like dachode86 telling us Trump isn’t racist, it’s the media telling lies

    If you believe the following:

    -Segregation of people based on color by precluding people at events based on color
    -Different standards for different people based on race
    -that all black people share a common history
    -that certain races must be "protected" from themselves

    You are most likely a liberal, support BLM, and will be voting for Joe Biden. You are also a racist.

    anti-abortionists / super religious types that dislike the left.

    I've said this before I only think about 1/3 of Trump supporters are die-hard racists.

    Also I kind of think actions speak louder than words on this, you could be Diamond, Silk or Boss Hoggonum, but when you go to the mat for an open white supremacist, whose open white supremacy is one of his few identifiable policies, knowingly, you're supporting white supremacy.

    Sure. Maybe you just did it to pwn the libs. Or for a paycheck. But, you did it. Accept the consequences.

    Obviously you are okay with it. Trump promotes it and you are willing to overlook that. So if you want to phrase that another way, feel free to try.

    That there are good people on the side of white supremacists. Putting videos of his supporters out shouting White Power and after being called on it, not denouncing them. The idea that people aren't qualified for certain federal jobs based on their heritage, trying to use brown immigrants to scare people into voting for him, the list could go on, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

    If you prefer we can say that anyone that votes for Trump is willing to overlook racism. I'm not sure how that differs from being okay with racism, but we can use that if you would like.

    I still haven’t gotten any racist things he promotes. As far as saying good people ..that may have been when he said there are good people on both sides of a protest, not racist in that regard or maybe he didn’t know all the tidbits..the videos of people saying white power ..honestly I didn’t see that video but I’ll look into that but there is two sides to a story ..I appreciate you giving me some examples but they aren’t specific enough with cited sources . Nice try tho appreciate the effort

    If they aren't specific enough for you then you might want to look in the mirror, just because you choose to ignore these examples does not make them moot.

    There is a whole lot of maybes without looking at that he might have known exactly what he was doing.

    But go on ahead and see if there is two sides of the story.:rolleyes:

    If the people who voted for Trump because they wanted someone different and wanted to shake things up don't realize now that this was part of a grand con frankly deserve to be conned.

    For the people who voted for Republican ideals and not realize that Trump doesn't represent Republican / Conservative ideals they are either lost ideologically or have sold out for either power or just out of tribalism. Leaving aside any questions of racism just consider 15 years ago how the "conservatives" where all for the invasion of Iraq, calling people who didn't agree with it traitors. and sounding like Woodrow Wilson talking about Bush would bring democracy to the Middle East and we would win a war of civilizations. Those Neocons have now whole heartedly embraced a man who not only called the invasion of Iraq one of the worst mistakes of recent years, personally insulted the Bush family and embraces an isolationist xenophobic nationalism. Many of these people still speak of Reagan with reverence even though so much of what Trump stands for would be anathema to Reagan. If anything many of Trump's positions represent the worst of the Democratic party. The angry populist and Nativist side of the party led by people like Huey Long and Strom Thurmond.

    I know you're Trump Drunk on the coolaid but as he continues to promote and retweet racist views, clings to the confederate flag and statues to the glee of his racist supporters, those things alone are enough for most sane people to realize hes a racist. And those are just on top the decades of racist things he's said or done (feel free to google it and then ignore the long list).
