This is so sad how obliviously Trump supporters have exposed their souls to America.
It's no longer an argument that the GOP might tolerate racists, but they don't impact the platform or message. It's no longer an argument that the racists are a marginal slice of the GOP, not worth focusing on.
After watching a Trump rally, with attendees reiterating the racist attack from Trump, it's clear that the racism in the GOP is not a flaw, it's a feature.
Here is where we are: a minority person has a different view of what America should be doing than your traditional Trump-supporting Conservative. The response? "Shut up. YOU don't get a say in how WE run this country." Is that racist enough for you?
But what if you're a minority whose family has been in America for generations? "Shut up. YOU don't get a say in what it means to be AMERICAN. YOU are not one of US." Is that racist enough for you? How is that different than "we don't want your kind here?"
The message from Trump's base and by extension the GOP, by virtue of their silence, is minorities are only allowed in America by the good graces of White people. If minorities don't toe the line, they can GTFO, regardless of how long they've been here. Minorities don't get to tell White people how to run this country.
So at this point, is there any real counter argument against the claim that Trump's entire platform is based on not MAGA, but MAW(hite)A? Nooooope.

Trump is a racist POS and anyone in the crowd participating in that chant is as well.
I guarantee you that will be played over and over because most Americans find it repulsive.
Send them all to Venezuela.. they love Sociallism... let they get a real taste of what it winds up like..
They hate America so what is the big deal ? Ever hear LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.. I have.. many times over. Nothing racist about that..it is a blanket statement to all people.
People who understand the meaning of words can distinguish the difference.
