This wasn't because of racism. This belief is why the left keeps losing to him... a total misunderstanding of what brought him into power.
Some of the earliest figureheads of the so-called "alt right" movement were homosexuals and racial minorities
Trump's win was a revolt against the social justice age. His win was a revolt against emergent phenomenon like "cancel culture".

- bobxmax 1y agoThe social justice age wasn't a rejection of bigotry. It was a Mccarthy-esque movement of dividing everybody between sexual and racial lines into a hierarchy of who was and wasn't allowed to speak. Speaking against the party line meant exile. The SJW/Wokeism movement had nothing to do with true equity and "rejection of bigotry". That's why there was such a revolt against it.
- lostlogin 1y ago> Speaking against the party line meant exile. But that has got worse, not better. Trump is threatening to cancel contracts with Musk and to Munich him if he funds opposition. That’s the bluntest example of ‘cancel culture’ you’ll find. Also: Musk and Trump deserve each other.
- bobxmax 1y agoOf course, I didn't claim that the republicans aren't now doing everything they claimed to revolt against but worse. As it turns out "free speech" absolutism only applies to things that pwn the libz.
