Yeah, I didn't vote for him, but when he got elected, I was cautiously optimistic simply because he was such a wild card. That optimism soon faded and everyone that still supports him is obviously racist imo

Respectfully, I think even that logic is lazy. I challenge my wife on it all the time. She absolutely hates him, and lets him get her all riled up and emotional.

I remind her that she works in corporate America and understands business better than she lets show sometimes. If I liked 20 things about a candidate but strongly disagreed with 3, I'm not going to refuse to support them because of the minority of issues I have a problem with. Unfortunately that's where a lot of white people are, because issues with racism don't impact them enough to be non-negotiable. Like I care about immigrants and asylum seekers, but not enough to hate a candidate who supported criminalization but I agreed on Healthcare, education, job growth and climate change.

I'm also in a weird position, because I don't think Trump is just truly racist. I think he's an elitist bigot who's willing to use racism for political gain (which is still really fukked up) but I think he's more about wealthy people than race.
