Well I would agree that voting for someone with racist or misogynistic policies would be a problem, however I've not seen any policies or laws that were. You are welcome to prove me wrong.
As such I can excuse people for voting for Trump. Especially in a two party system. I suspect many simply always vote Republican and despite Trump's brash public persona they thought he was their best option.

- xupybd 6y agoHow is this an example of Trump being racist? Wasn't this even before he was elected?
- toiletfuneral 6y agoLet me ask you, why do racists LOVE Trump? I’m from a rural area, actual racists don’t really like the GOP but think Trump is their savior. Can you explain why?
