Youre not convinced it was racially motivated? White people voted in a way that had only ever been seen in minority groups in terms of near "monolithic" mobilized voting bloc. The thing is they're still the majority population. Man this ridiculous "idk if race played a huge factor" his campaign was literally "fuck Muslims FUCK Mexicans". His vision of black communities was some fucked up fetishized lawless Wild West type murder city. THESE THINGS ARE HOW TRUMP SUPPORTERS SEE THESE ISSUES. Stop trying to be apologist and say "no their views are nuanced and are not ethnically biased at all!!"
To deny that race was the most singular clear issue that defined the voter turnout is to straight up deny reality. White people voted for Trump. White men. White women. White baby boomers. White millenials. White. People. Is that just some happenstance accident that they voted for the fuck brown people candidate?
you're so possessed by your ideology you are so fucking blind to literally anything else. Political conservatism and right wing economics are not a product of racism. They're a product of high conscientiousness and low compassion. A large part of the republican voter base simply vote republican because they are conservative, as dictated by their inherent personalities. Your massive simplification of every single voter's choice, that literally all of them voted on the basis of race, and nothing else is so fucking useless! No one voted for trump because they believe in a more capitalistic, and less socialist economy, which is what the republicans represent to them? No one voted for Trump because he promised to re-industrialize America, and there are people who want those lucrative jobs back? No one voted for trump because their primary interest is less restrictive firearm laws? it was all just racists that hate seeing those fuckin brown people right? Of course many of them are real racists, but so many of them have a mere lack of compassion. An ability to tell themselves that nothing really bad will happen if Trump gets elected, and they really care about some other issue.
How can you possibly begin to address this problem if you truly think that? You so readily conflate every single form, shape, and degree of racism that you can never truly understand it. Trump is fucking shit, but just spitting at every single one of his voters and calling them just as racist as the other does fucking nothing to help. It does nothing to engage with them, it gives you no opportunity to actually have a dialogue about each other's beliefs and to possibly convince them that what they believe is wrong. You show zero sympathy, you give no humanization to a racist. They're just a fucking incorrigible enemy to you, aren't they?
People have reasons for being racist. I'm not saying they're justified. I'm not saying they're right. I'm saying that your inability to in any way see WHY they might be like this, and your inhibition to engage with these people, have some sympathy, understand them, and then use that understanding to then heal racism, will not do any good. Simply by dehumanizing racists, showing them no sympathy, having no willingness to take their views seriously and refute them, but instead just calling them immoral human trash the left has failed to truly defeat racism. Trump's election is proof.
