re: #42 Obdicut

I do think there are a lot who are not racist but merely completely accepting of racism being used as a tool. So the problem for them is that Obama is a dirty liberal, and they are really opposed to liberal thought, to the idea that we as a society need a communal government that actually supports everyone in society. These people are still racist in that they tacitly endorse racism, but it’s important to remember there are a lot of people who hate liberalism so much that they’re okay with racism being used if it also attacks a liberal.

I don’t think the folks who’ve been crazy would be substantially less crazy if Hillary were president, no, or even if a white man had taken it. The racial stuff stands out very starkly, but I think the hatred is the hatred of what the Democrats are imagined to represent.
