  You do realize that there are members of marginalized groups who have been elected as republicans Like there’s black republicans Is voting for them ‘blatantly racist’? If you overuse language it loses some of its meaning

    When you need to resort to “but I have black friends” to defend racism, you’ve lost.

      I’m not resorting to that. I’m not saying that. I’m saying that the idea that voting Republican is inherently racist, is wrong. This really isn’t that complicated.

        You are incorrect. The republican party is the party of bigotry and cruelty. To vote for them is an explicit endorsement. Adults are accountable for their allegiances and their actions, and we have had decades to learn.
