To what extent is the part that you've conveniently omitted. Trump is a racist not just for the way he carried himself in regards to where POTUS was born, but racism is a consistent basis of his campaign. If this example isn't good enough for you because Trump didn't think it up on his own, I find that to be a silly reason to exonerate the man. He's the idiot who made a complete ass of himself for years on the subject. The GOP knew it was bogus, but the train had left the station, and those disgusting people ended up with a candidate who cannot win. But still, he's the GOP that they truly deserve.
Often you make points, just to point out subtle oversights or mistakes. And that's fine if it makes you happy. If you're harping on who started this nonsense, you're harping on the wrong point. Trump ran with it, and didn't stop for years. Calling that careless would be an understatement.
Still, I'll clarify once more for those who don't care to read carefully, since it's such a passion of yours. What I said is that Trump supporters are racist OR stupid. And I stand by that. They are not absolutely racist. Many of his supporters are the common clay of the our country. Simple farmers. These aren't racists. They see a pro America candidate who preys on their misguided patriotism, and they just don't know any better.
But you damn well should.
Just a couple of things. First, I'm not a Trump supporter. I mean sure, I'm a Trump supporter compared to the alternative, Hillary Clinton, a cheap criminal grifter married to a serial rapist, but given my druthers Trump would not be the republican candidate and I will not vote for him. Whereas you'll vote to elect as the country's chief law enforcement officer someone who has repeatedly broken the law because she believes it does not apply to her, only to the little people. Advantage foad. Second, you asked for a source and when I cited one you changed the subject, which is the MO of leftists: make an outlandish unsupported statement, demand proof of the opposite proposition, and then when confronted with your irrationality, name call. Third, I do not expect a rube such as yourself who daily rides the metro north to his home in some upstate NY backwater to understand the impulse to blow the whole thing up, but I do. Because we live in a country where we are no longer citizens in a republic, we are subjects of a repressive oligarchy, and every once in a while the tree of liberty need be refreshed with the blood of tyrants, even if as in this case, the blood's only what Joe Biden would call literal, by which i mean metaphorical.
Finally, here's an interesting fact. According to wikileaks Hillary two years ago started focus grouping as to why she was running for president. Weird right, except she didn't know, she had only a vague impression that the office was owed to her because her husband had masturbated on a fat girl. Had she read this board she could have saved herself the two million dollars she spent: she would have learned that she deserves to be president because the deporables who think she should not be president are deplorable, whereas those who think she should be president are virtuous. You'd think the smratest woman in the world could have figured that out on her own. Oh well.
