So what, I'm a racist sexist bigot too, I don't mind those labels", I don't know what to tell you except that I think that's nuts.

Yeah, that's fair enough. Then I guess they just dismiss it as the lamestream media, "political correctness", and Trump just "telling it like it is" and don't even recognize obvious racism, sexism, and bigotry. If a person doesn't recognize what he's said to/about women, about Mexican immigrants, and Muslims as anything but sexism, racism, and anti-Muslim bigotry, they are either fine with it or too stupid to see it.

That would be nice, but he doesn't exactly have overwhelming or mainstream support, and there are enough truly racist people in every country to get behind a candidate like him.
Or maybe his supporters are just not paying attention at all? Hell, the guy is a proud philanderer who has been married three times. A casino owner, a liquor salesman, a narcissistic braggart who doesn't know the first thing about Christianity and scoffs at Christian principles, and apparently he has the support of millions of evangelicals. That doesn't make sense.
He's a silver-spoon Manhattan real estate tycoon who hires illegal immigrants, takes a dump in a gold toilet on his private jet and calls people who don't have a lot of money losers, and apparently some working class people think he's got their best interests at heart. That doesn't make sense either.
So really, who knows?
