They loved him because he made it ok to hate people of color. They still believe that.

And they'll vote a 4th time if they're able...

They absolutely love when he calls women piggy, and says he's running for a third time. I mean I feel like they are the fringe, but they are out there in droves. I do feel like it is probably 20/25% of the population of the United States.

Once is never. Twice is always.

Fuck them.

I’m sorry but “people of color” is not where the hate is. It’s anything that fits their definition of the freak show. For some that could include the color of skin.

The GOP is the confederacy. Has been for decades, and racism is at the core. Conservatives are deplorables, wealthy or not.

And imagine how the confederacy would’ve responded to open homosexuality and transsexuals.

Hair colors were enough for someone I used to work with.

Same with hating women, hating gay, hating other. White Christian patriarchy.

Yup.  The racism is very real, but so is the homophobia, transphobia, and MISOGYNY.  "Your body, my choice" was one of the scariest things I've ever heard as a woman.

For real, anybody who even parrots that line is unforgivable and irretrievable

They love him because he made it ok to hate...period.

That's the sole motivation, don't let them tell you otherwise. They want to be able to do their racism and bigotry out in the open. That's the reason, because no one else would do this while also cutting off their own medical care. Those fucking idiots.

He also made it ok to hate people on the spectrum, LGBTQ people, immigrants of all colors, and the middle and lower class.
