Not defending the racism in his post, but aren't a couple congresswomen actually from other countries? He didn't name anyone in particular, and Ilhan Omar is from Somolia/ Will this racism make you less inclined to vote for him? Does it make you more likely to do civil disobedience? Does it make you more suspicious of his immigration and foreign policies? That kind of stuff. In and of itself, yes it makes me like him less as a person, and makes me want to vote for him less. However, that all depends on who he is running against and what they say and want.
Then there is the internal struggle with possibly being faced with the possibility that a total douche-bag might actually be the better choice for the country, as a whole, than a super-nice person with policies that stink. Let's see how the Democratic primary comes out first. At the moment I'd vote for either Tulsi Gabbard or Andrew Yang over Trump. On the other hand there's a big Hell-No to Cory Booker, and Beto O'Rourke.

Trump, of course, is doubling down on his racist attacks. “Be a proud nationalist or get the fuck out” - Trump 2020 Being nationalistic isn't racist.... still douchbaggery though.
Just like, technically, you can't be racist against Muslims.

How on earth could trump be better than Beto or Booker? I don't like either, but at least they live in reality. They're not racist narcissists who are gradually falling victim to dementia.
If you think trump is somehow better than them, you need to get your head checked.
Also, racism is a big part of nationalism.

So are you saying that Trump's policies do not stink? The racist person putting immigrants into camps is having a good policy? I mean, surely, the total douche-bag with policies that stink isn't better than the super-nice person with policies that stink?

The racist ones, enforcing policies motivated by racism, suck more.

Never forget, before the Republican Party decided that Donald Trump would be a better president than Hillary Clinton, they also decided that Donald Trump would be a better president than John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, and many more. Donald Trump is the best the Republican Party had to offer.

I just had to quote this because I couldn't honestly believe it came out of the rent-a-pigs mouth. Like, wow, that is an amazing leap in logic there buddy.

Conway's defying the subpoena against her and Trump is telling her to. That's obstruction of justice, no? So much for caring about the law.
Also, as someone with a master's degree in political science, the idea that you "technically can't be racist against muslims" is fucking bollocks. It's predicated on a definition of what constitutes racism that is ignorant of the concept in research and its historical usage. I'll expand more once it's not three in the morning where I am.

You can definitely be bigoted against Muslims, but not racist. "Muslim" is not a race, it's a religion. It's as silly as saying someone is racist against Catholics.

It’s always fun when people resort to the exact definition and technicalities of their bigotry.
