Is it just me or does it seem like most people that oppose more social programs and universal healthcare in the US use a lot of racial undertones to convey their points? Of course not all but it seems the average die hard "capitalist" that opposes social programs in the US does this or at the minimum seem to have a superiority complex.

What do you think?

Note: I'm only talking about the average amateur person that is vehemently "capitalist" (which are the vast majority of people that oppose more social programs etc.) not necessarily the intelligent ones that can actually defend their points of view with substance.

If it's racial bias that motivates them, then they're idiots because they will kill a lot of white people in the process. It's like the old saying - cut off your nose to spite your face.

I think people see what they want to see. The Democrats might be able to change some votes if they stopped labeling everything racist.

I mean it's just kind of obvious some people have some racial turmoil going on inside of them, so they kind of label themselves.

There are only a few capitalists in real life. I should know...I'm one of them.

I'm also not sure what the "racial agenda" means in the context of your thesis.

Don't tell the liberal SJWs about lots of White people dying, it would hurt their agendas.

Why? Are you suggesting that the only people who use social programs are minorities which would make your question racist.

Nobody opposes social programs.

The perpetual debate centers on cost, efficiency, and how much of the private sector might be affected.

By and large, people only oppose a social safety net for *other people*. If you add up the Trump-voters receiving socialism via Medicare, Socialist Security, Earned Income Credit, food stamps, welfare, government retirement etc... they're a majority socialist voting bloc.

And they're fine with socialism so long as it goes to THEM. They just think they're the only ones who deserve it.
