If someone says "all racists support Trump" that does not mean everyone that supports Trump is a racist.

If a Trump supporter thinks it does they are stupid.

If they decide that that is enough reason to vote for Trump they are stupid.

Heck if it doesn't bother them that they support someone that all racists support they are stupid.

Now, there are lots of other reasons people voted for Trump too.  Some believed his snake oil about bringing coal back and caring about the real Americans who had been "forgotten".  Clearly he struck a cord with people who feel disenfranchised.  That "their America" is not the same as it was whether that is because of high tech jobs replacing blue collar or immigration or gay marriage.

And I STILL think that is stupid.

Change is part of life.

It's not the way it was...never will be.

If someone supported Trump because of he proposals to "make America great again" I'd like them to explain what the details were behind them...because we STILL don't know.

Lot's of reasons.

But "someone talked about racists and I'm not racist" is a dumb one.
