The disturbing data on Republicans and racism: Trump backers are the most bigoted within the GOP - Salon.com
The disturbing data on Republicans and racism: Trump backers are the most bigoted within the GOP
… Racists are more likely to be Republicans — and the most extreme among them are Donald Trump supporters …
“Presumptive 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is a bigot. He wants to ban Muslims from entering the United States, believes that Hispanic and Latino immigrants come to America in order to rape and kill white women, uses anti-Semitic imagery to slur Hillary Clinton, and has been endorsed by white supremacists……………
……….
As reported by a recent Reuters/Ipsos public opinion poll, Donald Trump supporters possess extreme levels — even as compared to other Republicans — of antipathy towards African-Americans: Supporters of U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump are more likely to describe African Americans as “criminal,” “unintelligent,” “lazy” and “violent” than voters who backed some Republican rivals in the primaries or who support Democratic contender Hillary Clinton, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll…….. the poll also showed significant numbers of Americans in both the Republican and Democratic parties view blacks more negatively than whites, harbor anxiety about living in diverse neighborhoods and are concerned that affirmative action policies discriminate against whites…………
Rather disturbing poll results…….. And I am confident many here will think otherwise…….
And may explain the several times Trump Tweets would appeal to people so inclined……
An important ability a President must have is to bring people together………..
And be President representing all of the people…….
Trump has yet to demonstrate these qualities…….
And IMHO………he never will
