the us is way more divided then just red and blue. SMH thats why the bots only affect the dumbest of us, and those numbers are sadly pretty high! education is key to keeping this from happening in the future. keep your kids in school.

Racism is taught from generation to generation, and it takes a unique individual to be raised in that environment, yet be open and self aware enough to reject it and find their own path. The Civil Rights era ended Jim Crow apartheid-to a great extent-but it didn't end racism, and that wasn't even very long ago. The good news is, each generation that has followed has been measurably "less racist" than the previous generation. Unfortunately, the Republican party has rejected traditional conservatism in favor of religious extremism, which is based on feelings rather than logic or science, and racism is a big part of their belief system. Trump has emboldened white supremacists to come out of the shadows and it's going to take a concerted national effort, like the first Civil Rights movement, to end the systemic racism that was built into the Constitution from the beginning. There is a reason why 3 of the first 5 Presidents were big time Virgina slavers.

there was an old pop eye video from 1943 on TV the other Day, his 3 nephew's asked him if he killed any Japs and of course he did,.there was blatant Hoover adverts inside the cartoon..its amazing how open it was back then, in kids cartoons, morphing the minds of the youth for a war torn nation. doesn't sound different then today.
its never fully gone


this is the same brain washing that causes my gramps to refuse to buy a subaru despite the obvious fact they are great vehicles. just another time I suppose

My father was a racist/xenophobe who unfortunately for me, tried very, very hard to convert me to his way of thinking, alas, too no avail.
Some of my earliest, saddest memories are of him telling me to watch out for/never trust Italians/Blacks or Jews.
And this guy was a devout Catholic? (Someday I might share the funny story about the priest that presided over his funeral, I'm still surprised Da didn't leap out from his casket & attack him)
Anyway, there are 2 basic types of Trump supporters in my mind.
One being the under-educated/learning disabled & the other being your average, run of the mill greedy, I don't care about anyone but myself Republican.
Pretty simple actually.
It's just very sad that there are so many of them.

I think you also must include the religiously possessed. Sort of a mix of the above two.
