I've said before that I believe Trump is a racist. It is NOT demonization to call out Republicans for going along with a racist president.
If you don't believe Trump is a racist or is using racism for political means and in a big way, the biggest way since George Wallace--a Democrat--then that is your opinion, but you can't fault all of the many many people who see this differently.
You know, you all act like I am jumping to conclusions when I say Trump's much smoke is evidence of a real fire. You act like it's just so unlikely that Trump, a man who has employed and befriended black people, is a racist. You probably would have said the same thing about Ronald Reagan, yet didn't we just read his racist comments ecently from a taped conversation with Richard Nixon?
I think you are being naive and you think I am being cynical when I say Trump is a racist. But it's certainly not a matter of demonizing Republicans. It's a matter of criticizing Republicans en masse for going along with Trump's racism en masse.

I wouldn't vote for Donald Trump for dog catcher. He's a shallow dim witted amoral blow hard narcissistic clown. In no way is he even remotely racist or has he used race politically in any substantive way. Might be one of the least racist white men of his generation I've ever seen. Unlike Obama. Unlike the liberals and Dems who use race as a cudgel to demonize the opposition and to stifle free speech.

the theme is wholesale demonization of an entire political party. I gave you multiple articles, found within 2 minutes, that blanketed the party within a racist frameset. If I pulled cnn and msnbc footage, we could be here all day.
i didn†t vote for trump because Democrats were hypocrites in 1992 and still are over the character doesn†t matter chant.  Character does matter and Donald trump doesn†t have much. Republicans May be on a slow train to hell, but liberals are on the express and don†t care. They don†t care about babies being killed by the millions but cry foul when babies are detained at the border for illegal activities of the parents. They don†t cry when babies in Chicago or Baltimore or St. Louis or Detroit enter the system because of crime, but do when it is the rio grande or El Paso.....

To the left, me being a Christian white male makes me a racist. A bigot. A homophobic, xenophobic, mysogenistic monster.

But only if it's politically expedient and there's a Republican to demonize. They ignored the issue when Obama was POTUS. Just like Guantanamo went from being the worst human rights abuse ever to nothing the second a Dem was POTUS.

All I ever heard was how awful Gitmo is/was then Jan 2009 came around and not a peep.Â

DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

I remember that being one of Obama's main campaign promises. That was a big thing for D's back in 07/08.
