    I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it wasn’t just about racism. Sure there are Republicans that are racist but there’s still a good percentage of Liberals that are racist too. I think the facts of the matter do indeed matter, and unfortunately that comes with a plethora of misinformation and campaigns designed to target underprivileged voters. Low literacy rates will also exacerbate the divide. I’m so tired of this tirade that because “XYZ” people can’t be treated with human decency. I still believe Republicans deserve a good life, as well as immigrants, poor people, and Democrats. Thats literally the point of leftism is to practise distribution of goods on a need basis instead of on merit.

      This isn’t 2016 anymore. These people voted for him a 3rd time well after he made it very clear what he stood for. Racism is his defining feature.
