Trump won the white working-man vote..

[Mister Agenda]

And not only will calling them racists not do that, it's patently untrue.

If you vote for a racist ideologue who makes racist campaign promises, I don't care how you rationalize it away to yourself....youre a racist.

Trump got 61 million votes, nearly half of the popular vote. Extrapolating that, nearly half of America. If they're all racists, the word doesn't have much meaning, anymore. Sometimes discrimination is a good thing, like when you use it to distinguish your true enemies from the merely mistaken. That you can encompass half the country with the accusation is, I think, a factor in many people thinking the accusation is meaningless. You voted for Trump, you're a Klansman or Neo Nazi, same thing. And a short step to 'you didn't vote for Clinton, you're a Klansman or Neo Nazi, same thing.
