To be clear, if you voted for Trump, I don't think you're a RACIST, I think you're a BIGOT

and there's a difference.

We have to stop thinking these people didn't know what they were doing. They did. They even know of the Russian collusion. They just don't *care* because they have been treating *us* like the enemy while we've been treating them like our rival.

Some of my Trump Chumps even go so far as to say that Russia did us a favor.

They think "generational welfare" is a big problem facing us today. Really, they just like judging people.

We *must* tether that chicken around their necks, or this shit will keep happening.

To paraphrase someone who put it very nicely on FB shortly after the election, "results supersede intent."

In other words: "Even if it isn't your intent to further the cause of racism, by electing Herr Trump you certainly did so. Therefore, your claim that you aren't racist is now moot."

claim to not be that way, but one thing is for sure: they've enabled a racist/bigot to hold the country's highest office.

It was obviously expanding on your point, rather than being directed at you.

That's the problem with being too quick to take offense.

15. It's completely unfair to bigots to label them as mere racists.

Bigots know how much fun sexism and nationalism can be.
