You understand these posts are here in this forum, don't you?
With respect to the bolded, yes, there are some people doing this, and they're wrong. I don't feel that way, nor do all progressives. Just like every other election, plenty of R voters simply voted party line, or against abortion, or for a conservative SCOTUS justice, or for what they perceive to be potentially lowered taxes. Those would be examples of Trump voters who don't qualify as racists.
Not every Trumper is a neo-Nazi. However:
- a measurable number of people out there who backed Trump certainly do hold such views;
- while all Trumpers aren't racists, all racists are Trumpers.
The latter isn't something I've seen much of on this site at all. Feel free to point out a significant number of examples.
