If you look at the Trump supporters here, you'll see it wasn't apathy towards his racist ideals. It was do anything to justify that this isn't racism, so they can convince themselves that they aren't aiding and abetting.
That's why it's so much fun to point out all the racist things about the Trump campaign.
