Are all Trump supporters racists?

[phiwum]

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.

Er, he was part of a lawsuit regarding racial discrimination in 1973.

Aside from that, why would one expect Trump's views on race to be part of the common discourse? He's a playboy and reality TV star. Hardly the sort of celebrity to be talking about race very often.

 

[phiwum]

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.

Sorry? What do you mean by this?

He was a reality TV star and oftentimes failed businessman during those years. That you don't see the distinction is one of the main reasons we're in this mess.

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.

Need a tissue? A safe space? I hear the Boycott of Hamilton is going well. Might be an extra ticket for you in the bleachers.

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.

No, you get elected (apparently) by throwing the working class under the bus, but selling the moron wing of America platitudes. Nobody, NOBODY in the public eye has thrown more working class Americans under the bus than Trump. Keep them blinders on, kiddo. It's going to be just fine.

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.

If 10 is the most passionate a person feels on a topic, most Trump supporters probably weighed racism and his other social abnormalities about a 5 or a 6 tops.

Oh PLEASE tell us how the Republican party of Lincoln is exactly the same today as it was in his day.

It's Monday, I'm not feeling well and I truly need a good laugh.

The floor's yours, kiddo!

Right, if you say so, this is how it must be.

Well clearly they didn't rate it very high, otherwise he wouldn't be President.


Are you implying that his racism wasn't obvious?

Do you even know what NAFTA is and how it has affected working class Americans? Do you not know factory workers that have lost jobs because their company closed down and moved to another Country?

The Republican party Ideals are exactly the same today as they were when Lincoln ran.

"The legitimate object of government is to do for people what needs to be done." Lincoln made these comments on what role the government should play on July 1, 1854. Lincoln asked why government exists. "Why not each individual," he said, "take himself the whole fruit of his labor, without having any of it taxed away , , , ?" He answered saying that government should do what people cannot do by individual effort. Lincoln cited many examples of things that people cannot do on their own: making and maintaining roads and bridges, providing for the helpless, providing schools" etc.

A little research may actually open your eyes to the fact you are being sold a dead horse in what is the Democrat party. Chris B.

I pointed out his obvious racism back in 2011. I know plenty of others that said so back when he took out that ad calling for the death penalty for the "Central Park 5" back in 88. That you don't know this only shows that you weren't paying attention.

Of course, one can be a racist and a good person, so this was overshadowed by his multiple bankruptcies, his long-running misogyny, and his habit of grifting whenever possible, since those were far more likely to actually injure others.

To further add to my comment above, The Democrat Party has been the party to change mostly in order to hide from their roots. The fact is, they needed to distance themselves from the KKK, so to do that they started embracing minority groups such as the LGBT community. In order to keep the African American voter engaged, they went to an entitlement system in order to herd minorities into urban areas in large numbers. This would be their method of keeping a certain population voting only for the Democrat party to protect their entitlements. The fact is the movement away from the Constitution as the founders intended it, was and is being done to better serve their voting population, and not specifically for the good of the Country in mind. This movement was and is the reason such outlandish characters such as the KKK have switched parties. As the Republican party wishes to preserve the Constitution as per the intentions of the founding fathers.

The fact is a perfect society would be defined by the modern Leftist as a communist state with the Government retaining all power and the people following those in charge of said Government. Do you think Bernie was a Democrat before he ran in the primaries? Take a stroll down facts street and do a bit of review. Chris B.

 

[quadraginta]

A significant number of his supporters are racist.

And the rest of them didn't care enough about it to not vote for him.

The guys in the white sheets who burned the crosses and lynched the *******. They were racists.

The ones who stood around and watched, took home souvenirs, and bought the postcards?

Well, it wouldn't be fair to call them racists, would it?

That's funny, simply because the accused were Black you assume he would not have called for the death penalty had they been White? Exactly who is the racist here?

I have a bit of relevant info for you. Those that support the death penalty, yours truly included, don't care what skin color the criminal has. When it's time to go, it's time to go and I'd pull the switch regardless of skin color.

This right here.

See that part I highlighted?

That part is exactly why black people such as myself, with masters degrees and high-paying jobs, still find so much of the GOP disgusting.

Exactly! It doesn't matter if they're racists now. It only matters that long-dead people who were in the party were racists a century ago. Just like Iran is exactly like the Achaemenid empire.

And why? If you support the Democrat party, you are an accomplice to destroying the African American community.

Let me ask you, have you been to Detroit lately? I have and the people are suffering. Chris B.

The Democrat party is absolutely racist now and then. Don't you know how a plantation worked? Look Chicago, look at Detroit. Can you be proud of these Democrat run modern day plantations? I think it's outrageous. Chris B.
