5. The racism is staggering

Here's what drives this, they believe, "Their way is the right and best way." It's as simple as that. White Christian Republicans believe they should control everything because they'll do things and run things in the best possible way. There's not a job out there held by some minority, non Christian or woman that a white christian male couldn't do better, that's exactly what they think. That thought process was what drove Germany under Hitler, that only they did things the way they should be done and the whole world would just be better off if they got to run things the right way. As someone who's done business in Germany, worked for German owned companies, and has several close German friends, you can still see this thought process ingrained. Germans industry believes they are the only ones who do things the right way, there's the right way, the wrong way, and the German way, which is the actual right way. Now I know I'm speaking in generalities, and as an engineer, German engineering and ways of conducting manufacturing are excellent, but you can see how this thought process can be harmful taken to its extreme. And I don't see the racism in the German pride in my personal experiences.

This is more than racism among Trump voters, it's plain old White Supremacy.
