Or am I hallucinating?
No it is not.
What is happening is his marketing is working, that in turn can and does cause otherwise decent people in middle America to make excuses for the asshole.
My late mother was a lifetime GOP voter for the most part. She was not a bigot, but she was born in an age of far more bigotry in a time when whites were far more dominate. She never saw herself as a bigot. But she did have an ignorance of history and ignorance of economic inequality, and had an over simplistic view of race relations and how economics effect different demographics disproportionately.
So again, if the title of your thread is suggesting bigotry is growing, IT IS NOT.
I'd only agree it can, and will if you keep ignoring what I am telling you.
Read the fucking article about Trump's base growing among Hispanics. No one said that bigotry is growing, clown.
Trump has black supporters too dumbass.
Not the fucking point.
I have seen this doge before.
Politico may be well intended in it's "warning" but it is wrong headed and misleading.
Humans can be convinced to vote against their own self interests. Miami's poor Cubans vote for morons like Rubio. That is not impossible, but that still does not mean bigotry is growing. It just means humans in general can buy the bad arguments politicians sell them.
"Trump's base" was the title of the thread.
There are also log cabin republicans too.
I'd argue his base isn't growing in as much that GOP voters get sold "The American Dream" as in, " everyone can all wipe their asses with $100 dollar bills. But he is no Reagan, he is no JFK or Obama. He still has a core base of asshole bigots I'd warn any minority, black or Hispanic or Gay or Jewish not to fall for.
