Trump supporters racist,I didn't need a study to tell me this

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/studies-confirm-trump-voters-were-motivated-by-racial-prejudice-not-economic-anxiety/

Klinker examined a recent study published by American National Election Studies (ANES) and found attitudes toward race, ethnicity and religion — not economic anxiety — offered the best predictor of Trump support.

Another Oklahoma senior citizen, 70-year-old Judy Banks, told the New York Times she backed Trump because “he was talking about getting rid of those illegals” — but now she’s worried the president’s proposed budget cuts might cost her job through the Labor Department’s Senior Community Service Employment Program.

“If I lose this job, I’ll sit home and die,” Banks told the Times — yet she might still vote for Trump in 2020.

They believe racist things, they make racist statements, they do racist things, and they revere racist leaders, but if we actually call them racist, we'll hurt their delicate snowflake feefees!


They can go fuck themselves. Whether or not the individual Trump chump is racist, they voted for him and thereby gave a ringing endorsement of racism, so they rendered their personal views irrelevant. Fuck every last one of those idiots.
