Absolutely it is (as it has always been since the 60's). We are fast approaching a point where they will be freely admitting it too, just like Trump. In a way this will be good because we can see with clarity what they stand for. There is little risk for them to admit it, especially in the House since they have gerrymandered their way into permanent power in much of the country.
If you want to beat on the other team then great, be my guest.
But I don't like gerrymandering and people that blindly think it's only (or just mostly) the other guys doing it are part of the problem.
That would be you. Apparently you're ok with gerrymandering, just not when the R's are doing it?
Trumpism, in my opinion, is a response to the Obergefell vs. Hodges decision, the White House being lit up rainbow, and the right-wing's apparent loss of the culture war. After same-sex marriage was legalized, many conservatives lost their minds and decided that "fighting fire with fire" was the best strategy. Out of that arose the Trump movement. And it's never been only about same-sex marriage or abortion. It's the very idea of "white Christian America" and preserving it against what they see to be an antagonistic left.
It just goes to show how much hate the conservatives have for a group of people whose desire to get legally married really is just about being treated equally before the law, as in civil marriage. Hate begets hate. To say that trump’s hate is not equal to conservative hate is to make excuses for these aresholes.
Trump will continue to be racist and hateful because it makes his crowd cheer wildly! He knows how to get a group excited and riled up, I’ll give him that, and it’s because he has experience in reality shows, but that’s not what this country needs.

You often hear that Trumpism is not the same as the Republican platform. After two years of Trump it is pretty obvious what the difference is. It is hate. The guy drips hatred at all of his MAGA events. He is a classic demagogue who gets a crowd of other haters riled up with chants about some group of people that he says they should all hate. In 2016 it was Hillary, people from south of the border, elitists (which is ironic because Trump is the very definition of elitism), and the media. Now it is the squad. And Silicon Valley. And the Fed when it won't lower interest rates. And many of our former allies.
The Republican party never had hate as an element of their platform; they never have gone out of their way for disadvantaged people but they never hated them like Trump does. I am not sure America has ever had a political climate in it that was so filled with pure hatred like this one. It is really sad that this is what America has come to be.
You are correct.
Hate is synonymous with fear.
I have said on CD many times that Tr*** operates from a position of fear, which is very dangerous.
As most republicans have stood by and even defended Trump they are equally as guilty as he is.
One might even say the the republican party of today is the white nationalist party.
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends”
That is why those who voted for him, while they say they were just "picking the lesser of two evils", their silence in holding their nose and voting anyway is more hurtful and more shocking than those who actually wore MAGA hats and went to racist marches. We already knew we should fear the latter, but never knew we'd have to fear the former.
Lots of hate being expressed in this topic. And it's not by Republicans.
Hate towards 10s of millions of people not known by the accusers.
It speaks for itself.

So some how people who disagree with Trump and his supporters are filled with hate?

Trump message is violent to its core.
