    What, you don’t think that 70 million racist conservative rubes would vote for a brown man with the name Ramaswamy?

      You think half the voting population is racist? The fact that he’s on that stage, or Nikki Hailey was elected governor, or the last governor of Louisiana, or the FCC head under Trump exist should tell you how wrong you are. Your team does not own all the brown people.

        Telling choice of words there. Could have gone with “represents” went with “own”.

        Republicans aren’t all racist. But they have shown that racism isn’t a deal breaker.

          That’s not true either, almost every racist I run into on the internet talks mad shit about republicans for supporting Israel. Most of them wouldn’t vote for either party. I saw multiple news articles about klansmen in 2016 supporting Hillary Clinton on the grounds that she was anti desegregation when she worked on the Goldwater campaign in the 60s.

          I’ve met numerous liberals and leftists that were racist in private. Hell, Che Guevara was an outspoken racist. I don’t think racism is partisan, there are just people like that out there.
