    My point still stands. Bellyaching away from this quote is dodging that's on par with GOP whataboutism.

    You're right about Farakhan but he makes up a tiny part of the population of racists.
    I think it would have been more accurate to say that most racists are Republicans. i.e. More than half the racists are Republicans.

    If I had to bet my life on it of course I'd bet that more racists vote for Republicans.

    The premise of this thread was that ALL racists in this country are Republicans and that's just too stupid to let pass.

    White supremacists have no reason to vote for a Democrat unless they are part of another group that tends to vote Democrat. Like gay men.

    The alt right psychos recruit them apparently.

    Gay men as well as lesbians tend to vote for Democrats because Democrats are the only party to care for everyone. Republicans certainly aren't going to make things fair and balanced for homosexuals or Muslims or Latins or African-Americans or the poor or those with pre existing conditions or . . .

    I don't think some folks realize that there are even more conservative parties than the GOP...the Constitution Party is the most conservative of all...only around since 1992 they want to completely change the country ..don't think they don't have some Grand Wazoos in the wings

    Real Republicans would. There ain't any.

    As for pre existing conditions....

    That's entirely about money. Not if I or anyone else wish people with stage 4 cancer could get the best treatment money can buy. Nothing to do with racism.

    Pretty much a troll thread.

    I see no credible connection between racism and any particular political party.

    As with people who like ice cream or hate being stung by bees, racists come with all political beliefs.

    This is why I can't get behind the Democrats. This holier than thou attitude is hilariously wrong.

    Are you seriously saying that there are zero racist Democrats?

    Do you think that having the attitude that you need to take care of all minorities as if they're children isn't a form of racism?

    This post shows a high degree of hugely negative judgmental opinion about over 100 million people you've never met.

    It's what racists do.

    No, preexisting conditions has nothing to do with racism. It does, however, have to do with class divide.
    I'll bet the tax break Trump gave to the ueber wealthy could have paid for existing conditions for multiple years.

    Using the term "racist" in this context is like using "UFO" when you mean "flying saucer."

    If you replace "racist" with neo nazi/neo confederate/white nationalist, you would be correct.

    I'm sorry, where did he mention or even imply the 100 Million you quote? I've looked and looked and failed to see it.

    Why do you think obamacare kept insurance companies in the mix? Corporations, that's why.

    The democrats want the votes and money just like the Republicans.

    Making the lying Democrats out to be the epitome of good just disgusts me.

    They're all evil. I'll start my own party.
