Ohio Woman Charged With 'Ethnic Intimidation' After Spray Painting Slurs, Swastikas on Neighbor's HouseBeaut, isn't she: Trailer Trash out of her trailer.
Let's be clear; these people are ready to betray their country, everyone, everything in order to indulge their racism.
There is one, and only one reason to be a Trumper: Being a racist.

(149,615 posts)tRump has validated these trailer trash types. They now feel free to express their racist thoughts in any way, with any medium possible.
They are validated. They could not be more wrong.

(5,932 posts)Wouldn't it be wonderful if racism really existed only in the former Confederate states? Then people of color could just move to another state and live happily ever after.
I think people of color face a very, very different reality here in the USA.

NNadir
(33,518 posts)...which is that we are all involved; it falls on us all.
What was true in 1865 is true in 2018 still: Otherwise this creature, with his slovenly lack of competence and even a trace of intelligence, would not be in the White House in the 21st century.
The book makes the point that our modern wealth is tied to our racist history as a nation.
The Half Has Never Been Told
It's a painful, but powerful read.
As for the geographic distribution of racists; we had and still have Trump signs in New Jersey. These people are proud of being racists.
Thus expecting them to outraged at what this mindless, corrupt ass does when he appeals to Nazi rhetoric is a useless cause. He has been a racist his whole life and there is no evidence whatsoever that has ever been anything else. He's an exceptionally stupid excuse for a human being, but let's say this for him: He knows exactly on which side his bread is buttered.
He is, after all, a minority President, installed by an obsolete, vestigial Constitutional artifact that was put there to protect human slavery.
But we are all Americans. All of us are involved; all of us have responsibility for this; and the stain on our country is as obvious in 2018 as it was in 1860. The fault in the generic sense lies with Americans as a whole.

(4,033 posts)I marched with my father in Civil Rights marches.
I went to Ohio State and had friends of many different ethnic origins.
I moved around alot in my life, Ohio, Southern California, Tx, back to SoCal, Az, in the Sierras, SF Bay area, KY, KC, and finally back to No Ky for good (I assume).
Granted that the places were almost always urban, but I have found that most folks I have met in a work and social environment are pretty accepting of whoever you are and overt racists aren't really welcome. Here in No KY (we're just over the Ohio River from Cincinnati) where we have lived for the last 10 years we are seeing more and more non-white folks show up and nobody really cares. The shoppers in the grocery check out line are just as friendly and chatty regardless if the checker is black, white, asian, or whatever. I have never seen anyone give a dirty look to a woman in a hajib with her children shopping, or giving an African doctor, aide, nurse, or phlebotomist a hard time. Maybe we are making progress but it just doesn't make the news.
A couple of years ago we had a really severe winter. A woman lost control of her car on an icy patch, went over an embankment and ended nearly submerged in a creek. Three teen-agers saw it happen. They sent one of them to call 911 and the other two waded into the nearly frozen water, got to the driver who was trapped in the car, and held her head above water until rescue crews arrived and were able to cut her free. Both the driver and the two boys suffered from hypothermia. Naturally it was a nice human interest story for the 6:00 news. The boys were somewhat embarrassed by all the attention. They just said, 'no big deal, it is just what you do'. And it was no big deal to anyone that the boys were black and the driver was white.
Trump is stoking the fires of racism. And that, all by itself, is enough to impeach him, let along everything else.

(65,042 posts)And as someone else said, you can be some combination of the three, or all three.
There are actually supporters of PINO that i honestly believe are not racist or rich. But, they bought the carnival barker line about bringing jobs back and stomping on the Chinese government and making america first (except for all that money to Israel, which apparently is just perfectly fine), cheaper/better healthcare that covered everyone, lower drug prices, and so on. They bought it hook, line and sinker. They aren't rich, they don't have to be racist to buy that line, but they do have to be stupid.

(30,481 posts)This would have gotten a POC shot in many instances.
She had multiple warrants. She ran from the officers inside her residence. The officers were forced to make forced entry into her residence and took her into custody without further incident, Sgt. Paul Davis told the news station.

janterry
(4,429 posts)Not sure of her status prior to this arrest,
but perhaps after this trip to jail, she'll have the (um) pain of not being able to help Mr. Rump at the voting booth.
(While I'm generally against taking away voting rights........I'm okay with the irony of this).
