Okay, here's the thing. Let's give Trump the benefit of the doubt for sake of argument, and say maybe he really isn't a racist. But surely at some point he must have realized that his campaign was attracting a rather high number of people who are. Wouldn't that have been a good point to take a look at his rhetoric, and alter it to avoid drawing support from people with whom he claimed to disagree?
I mean, seriously, if you discovered that the things you were saying were encouraging behavior you found loathsome, wouldn't you thing about maybe not saying them anymore?
The racist vote was negligible. The reason Trump won is that Hillary did not talk to the folks in rural areas. And Hillary would have lost to anyone including Mickey Mouse.
Hispanics are more interested in the economy and much less interested in race politics. Sure, many Hispanics were infected by AAs and the LGBTQ philosophy of victimization after the words of Trump, but in the end most want a decent economy.
yep, in the end, "it's the economy, stupid".
More than a few libs/team dem seem to be controlling freaks and are obsessed with "ist"....racist, sexist, etc. They seem to want to control everyone, thinking in the fantasy world that everyone will agree/accept everyone else. Sure would be nice but that's not reality. That kind of thinking/beliefs usually comes from parents. Perhaps the controlling one's should start trying to control parents and how they bring up their kids. Good luck with that in a free society.
well at least you are clear of who you are- good for you!!-- you know the dislike for others is cut 1000 ways- I have seen racism in Latin American countries- Asian countries, Mexico- Europe- Africa- what not- some just hate people-- enjoy--each other company.

No. Majority of Americans see securing the border as in our economic or national security interests.
We should stop talking about it and demanding our govt do something about it because some small group of racists agrees with the position only because they don't want more people of different races/ethnicities in the country? That makes no sense.
Oh, and I'm Latino by the way, which means I apparently hate most of my friends and family (who also voted Trump, by the way).
And I especially don't like my wife, who is Chinese (and voted Trump). I forgot to mention, my wife currently works for the family and I'm a stay-at-home dad, so that makes me a sexist too.
Yep. we're all typical racist Trump voters.
Get over yourself, please.
If you're justified with the way you voted, then you wouldn't need to waste time attempting to prove yourself or some silly point.
Fortunately, your vote was meaningless in this state.
