Trump won the white working-man vote..

[Mister Agenda]

Like I already told you, pointing out that others are bigoted doesn't make me feel swell.  It makes me feel disgust for our shared humanity.  They are, after all, my fellow americans. I have some deeply racist family members who I love and would defend as well.  I have bigoted little urges and ticks of my own...it's not as if I can escape them, lol...product of my environment.  As I told you, I don't require a high horse, and don;t possess a high horse...so how much do you think self righteousness is worth...to me...lol?  It simply doesn't -matter- to me whether I'm right, or the racists are right.  Good luck having that argument with them in any case.

I can only go by what you post. You seem to really like posting about how racist Trump voters are, despite not caring whether they're right or not.

The definition of bigot includes not being able to change your mind on the topic in question. By that definition, not all racists are bigots. The ones that aren't can learn better. I live in South Carolina. I've had successes with this conversation...when I can remember to have a conversation instead of an argument. I certainly have an easier time with a good natured young white man who has been fed a lot of false information than with any of the alt.right crowd....but I think a lot of alt-righters started as misinformed young white men who could have been reached if someone had that conversation sooner. I used to be one of those misinformed but well-intentioned young white men...and if I hadn't had minority friends to give me a very kind and gentle reality check, there's no telling how far down the rabbit hole I might have gone. When I enter 'black on white crime' into Google, the first site that comes up is a racist fake news site. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on feeding false narratives to people who don't have the tools to unpack what's being done to them (and also making sure they don't get those tools), and it's been a very successful (though un-united)campaign that Trump had nothing to do with and predates any inkling he was going to run for office. There's no mastermind behind it, at least not just one. Just a general recognition that you can manipulate people by making them scared into voting certain ways and buying certain stuff; and efforts that dovetail into one another and reinforce each other without an overarching design being needed. A synergy of hatefulness and fear-mongering. I'm way more angry at the manipulators than the manipulated. It may be too late for your racist aunt, but maybe not too late for your racist cousin.
