But no, it must be “either you’re racist or you’re fine with a racist.”
If you voted for him, then yes, racism wasn’t a big enough factor for you to stop voting for him. Thus, you’re fine with voting for a racist. Sorry.
That’s like saying, “If you voted for Hillary, than you share her views that half the country is deplorable.”
Of course, when you happily subject yourself to either/or fallacies, you might just feel that way, so…
hillary never said half the country was deplorables. she said half of those supporting trump were. (or something like that) and for the record. yes i did agree with her. wasn’t a smart thing to say in a political race though.
You’re right, she did say half of Trump’s supporters filled what she termed a “basket full of deplorables.” I concede that point.
However, there are a lot of people who don’t share my views on pretty serious topics. To consider everyone with whom I strongly disagreed a deplorable is pretty arrogant. My dad, for instance, is a Trumpt supporter. He is also mildly racist, in the sense that he does hold some archaic views. But he is not antagonistic, would never protest equal treatment, would never condone separation of the races, etc. He does not see Trump as such a guy, either. He believes Trump’s s***hole comment, for instance, was taken out of context and was not racist in intent or view.
Now, I think my dad is actually a really good human being. Yes, he’s older, holds older views, some of which could be termed racist. However, if you think my dad is a deplorable individual, then it reveals more about your arrogance and the arrogance of any liberals who feel they are somehow better people because they don’t recognize their own biases and bigotry.
