Are all Trump supporters racists?

It's entirely possible. It's also possible that they simply aren't smart or educated enough to notice the discrepancy.

Which leaves us with the conclusion that Trump voters are either stupid or racist.

As some have pointed out, these are good people willing to turn a blind eye to his racism and misogyny. It's not like, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." That would leave their character in greater question than if they actually desired him to enact his racist ideals.

Is there a point at which turning a blind eye to something stops someone being a good person ?

It's also possible that they're simply smarter and more knowledgeable than the Trump-haters, and that they think more deeply about the consequences of a Trump Presidency than the shallow nincompoops who can't get past "oh, but he's a bad person!" That's my working theory anyway.

Somewhat analogous, but maybe you should look up who the first chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission was. He was quite the bastard. Very Trump-like actually. And he did a good job.

Oh, it's possible in theory, but it's not borne out by the evidence.
 
If it takes a shallow nincompoop to not vote for a racist conman, I'll gladly accept that mantle.

What does that make you, Sunmaster, considering you voted for the racist conman?

ETA: It should be noted that the accusations "racist" and "conman" are both supported by ample evidence, and aren't dumb reactionary tics like "socialist" or "Kenyan" was for Obama.

Sorry Sunmaster, I can only see your posts when quoted. Amend my previous post to read "considering you support the racist conman".

Oh zero arguments there. I feel that at the end of the day there is a reasonable chance that Trump supporters are going to get an even shorter end of the stick then Trump detractors.

But the Dems did not do a good job of selling themselves to rural America. Hillary was so overconfident that she would carry the Rust Belt that she didn't run one ad or step a single foot in Wisconsin or Michigan, the two of the so called "Firewall" states she lost.

Again it's silly but comparing it to that scene in the Dark Knight were Alfred tells Bruce that in their desperation the mob turned to "a man they didn't fully understand" when they brought in the Joker really rings true for me.

I don't think it racism. You can't feed your family with racism. You can't pay the mortage on the house with racism. And as noted Trump actually didn't do any worse with the minorities then Romney and McCain did.

There's an X factor in there somewhere.

For a lot of them sure. For other fear for their livelihood (misguided it might have been) won out.

The racist supporters (and cabinet members and Trump himself) are celebrating the loudest.

People who aren't racist but still voted for him are ambivalent. They just don't care that he's a racist.
 
The Liberal Left needs a few new go-to words to describe Republicans other than "racist" "bigot" etc. They've been crying wolf for years. Can they really believe the rhetoric they spew? Trump has been in the public eye for 30 years, many of those years as a Democrat, and not one word about being a racist or bigot etc from anyone on the Left. But the moment he runs on a Republican ticket, he's attacked with this vile rhetoric. Hilarious.

The Left went into fits when Trump said he may not accept the outcome of the election, remember this? Only a few weeks ago prior to the election. You would have thought Trump's statement was going to be the end of Democracy as we know it to hear the Left talk about it. Now, who doesn't want to accept the outcome? Hilarious.

The folks on the Left really need to apply some critical thought to the situation and remove the foil hats. You don't get elected President by throwing working class Americans under the bus. Someone has to actually work and pay taxes to come up with the money the Left dishes out with entitlements. Chris B.

That's not fair.

Turn it around. Would it be fair to say that Clinton supporters didn't care about her email scandal? I can tell you that I cared, but that the alternative, a Trump presidency, was too horrible to make that concern a deciding factor.

In exactly the same way, many folks believed that Trump's many deficits were inconsequential compared to the horror of a Clinton presidency. They think of Hillary as a supervillain, willing to do whatever she can to enrich herself. Yes, yes, it is comical that they chose to elect Trump instead, but this is the view that many Trump voters had.

It's not that Trump's racism doesn't matter. It's that this concern is outweighed by the imagined horror of a Clinton presidency.

That's the funny thing. The Democrats go overboard to point a finger at Republicans for such things when the Democrat party is the root of racism and bigotry. Isn't that odd. There's a name for such things I believe it's called "projection" Chris B.

And with this thinking, that's exactly how you lose an election. I realize you must be angry because your candidates lost, but let's try to live in reality.
