Those who do not support Trump are more likely to call themselves independent than R now. They mostly still lean GOP but they are declining to call themselves that.
The answer to the OP is selection bias.
Which does not mean that racism is not a factor. Those who are comfortable still identifying with what the party more and more explicitly endorses are in fact supporting racist policies, rhetoric, and actions. They may not self-identify as racist but, well … we can still identify them as such.

Thanks for your input. We’ll take it from here.
And anyone who falls for that bullshit would do well to read this:

That’s a great thread. Thanks.
Read what Mike Godwin said about that, the blunder is from the ones trying to normalize Trump; and no, it is not calling him a Hitler, but a cosplayer of Hitler, a buffoon closer to Mango Mussolini that while he did not gas jews he did arrest them and their kids late in the war.
It got worse later when Nazis took over Northern Italy, but the point here is that we do need to mind even the cosplay of wannabe dictators or we will ending up supporting it and worst things later. Having the confidence (and I do) that America will get better does not mean that we just should wait for improvements with our arms crossed.
Can you point to a post where you referred to FDR in such terms?
related - Arizona GOP only 20% view McCain favorably . For AZ Dems it’s 61%. Dear Leader does not like McCain so the party sides with him.
John McCain viewed more favorably by Arizona Democrats than by Republicans - CBS News
FDR set up concentration camps for Japanese children after they were torn from their mother’s… oh, wait, he didn’t. He “merely” set them up for families.
:rolleyes:
GOP Connedservatives started with children. Where will your “whatabout the worst decision made by a guy dead for 73 years” eventually lead to?
Anyway, here is your post, you proud deflector for evil.
Wishful thinking.
Your post assumes that his supporters require him to actually do things like push through laws or policies that actually make their lives better. It all makes much more sense if you just assume that Trumpies don’t really CARE about that kind of thing. What they want is overt racism, white supremacy and pissing off liberals. And Trump delivers on all of that like a champion. They’re now allowed to give their id free reign and they’re LOVING IT.
Whenever you feel the urge to give these deplorable Nazis the benefit of the doubt, remember that most of them wouldn’t even give you the courtesy of knocking on your door before they throw you in the camps.
This is a fascist regime and his followers are fascists. It would be a travesty NOT to point this out, despite this “law” that some dude came up with. Enough with fucking Godwin already, this got old about 10 years ago.
Absolutely. They love him because they are full of hate, just like he is. He hates the same people they do. Fuck him and fuck his followers, there is no cure for this cult other than the Grim Reaper eventually showing up and pointing them to the “down” escalator.
He seems very concerned.
In the past I would have accepted the sociopolitical divination of a “privacy lawyer in Japan and certified information privacy professional in Canada” without question, but the way things have been lately, I’m going to have to mull this one over.
Trump is a fascist. He meets all of the criteria for fascism. He is not Hitler, and he is unlike Hitler in many ways. Fascism has taken a different form in every nation where it’s shown up. Mussolini, Franco, and Tojo were also not Hitler. Of the lot of them, Trump is most like Mussolini, but even there, there are differences.
None of which changes the fact that Trump is a fascist, and that fascists should be opposed.
Emphasis added. That’s a great strategy if the goal is turn every discussion involving Trump into a debate about whether or not a Hitler comparison is apt.
As for Trump being a fascist, that gives him more credit than he is due. He has, over the years, maintained a consistent emphasis on economic nationalism, but other than that he doesn’t appear to have a political philosophy that extends beyond “what will get me more fame and fortune”. He’s a useful idiot that demagogues of various stripes, including those with fascist tendencies, might latch onto because of his ability to attract audiences.
It only turns into a debate about the aptness of the comparison if someone goes “GodwinGodwinGODwin” every time it’s made. I think he desires much more than fame and fortune. He desires to be a dictator and to destroy everyone he deems to be inferior.
This place gets more and more ridiculous by the day. It’s like liberals all across the country suffered a collective stroke on 11/8/16 and their condition has been deteriorating since then.
We’re not the ones advocating putting children in kennels or dispensing with the rule of law in immigration cases.
What are you talking about? Obama put them in “kennels” too. And decided when Congress wouldn’t pass the DREAM Act that he’d just do it anyways, which is about as clear an example of “dispensing with the rule of law in immigration cases” as I can think of.
A) They hate liberals so much that they’d support Satan himself if they knew it would piss them off.
B) Nobody wants to admit that they were that horribly wrong about their voting decision and their Party.
His schtick seems to be crying that liberals are too mean to Trump and sagely telling Democrats to stop it or else. He also seems to be a conservative minded guy (surprise!)
Why, oh why, won’t these liberal listen to the conservative telling them what the proper way to criticize Trump is? He’s only looking out for their best interests!
