If you still support Trump, then you are a racist

[louis c]

Anyone who supports the presidency of Donald Trump can no longer use "I don't like Hillary", or "I just wanted to shake up the system", or "I am just sick of politicians" anymore for an excuse.

Now, I want to make an analogy here. I know the "Goodwin Rule", but the analogy applies.

If years into Hitler's term, a German still supported Adolf, he (or she) couldn't now claim "I'm not anti-Semitic. I just liked the way he rebuilt the autobahn."

When you know that someone is a racist, and you personally support him, you are a racist, too. If you support Trump and you don't think he's a racist, that's even more evidence that you are a racist.

To all my contemporaries (I'm a 65 year old white male), let me remind you, Archie Bunker was supposed to be laughed at as a comic figure who didn't recognize that he was a racist. He wasn't supposed to be taken as a Prophet, you fucking idiots.

1. Agree 100%. In fact, just about everyone knew he was a racist when they voted for him in 2016.

That's what attracted many, perhaps most, to Trump. During early primaries, trump was just in the pack -- running for publicity -- when he started bashing Hispanics and Black Lives Matter. That's the exact moment he caught on and started attracting voters.

4. For that 35%, the racism is not a bug, it's a feature.

Hopefully we aren't even going to make any attempt to reach any of these people. At all. They are racist scum and that's all there is to it. Every person that still supports this idiot deserves every ounce of pain that life can dish out to them and I refuse to have eve the slightest modicum of sympathy for any of them.

5. I watched every episode of All In The Family

Archie grew and he was always a loyal husband. The one time he thought about having an affair he kissed the woman and confessed to Edith. He also had genuine affection for Lionel, the son of his black neighbor, even if he expressed it in his ham handed fashion. I doubt Trump has had genuine affection for any person of color, his mixed race girlfriend notwithstanding.

6. This 59 year old white male agrees with you

He is a racist and a neo-nazi supporter. It is beyond obvious at this point.

7. I would change that to: "If you EVER supported Trump, you're a racist."

But I agree 100%.

8. That ship sailed months ago with the KKK rally.
