First, it depends on how you define "racist." Like, people who were specifically excited to vote for Trump because they saw he was racist and they wanted someone racist to become president?

I think there's another group of people that weren't excited to vote for him because he's racist, but who are fine with racism. I think all of Trump voters are in one group or the other.
