What I'm saying is they definitely voted for someone who is demonstrably racist (amongst other things).
As I said, they can try to square that any way they want. But to argue that they didn't vote for someone who is racist means they are either completely ignorant (willfully or otherwise), or they aren't being honest.
Voting for someone who clearly displays certain traits or behaviors doesn't mean you share those same traits or behaviors, but it does mean that you do not see them as important/egregious enough to disqualify that person from your list of acceptable leaders.
Put another way:
Voting for Trump does not mean you are racist.
Voting for Trump does mean, at best, you think it is acceptable for your leader to be racist provided they agree with you on what you think are more important issues.

That's not true. People can vote for Trump and believe he is not racist which makes them neither of those two things.

Then it makes them, at best, willfully ignorant and, at worst, downright stupid.
Do we really need to go over all of this yet again?

In the 2016 presidential election, she became the first Native American to receive an electoral vote for President of the United States as well as one of the first two women to receive an electoral vote for President of the United States.[3] Spotted Eagle's single vote came from Robert Satiacum Jr., a faithless elector in Washington, who cast it for her instead of Hillary Clinton."

That's the game of the troll. Revisit issues well beyond discussion anymore, simply because it pisses the board off. So please keep engaging Huldrefolk as it is what feeds him and gives meaning to his pathetic little life. If we all ignore him he will retreat to his bridge and search for another site where he can obnoxiously ply his craft.

What Yamer said.
But yeah, I guess you're right BoLevi.
I suppose I could add "Don't pay close enough attention to the person they are voting for that they completely missed one of the defining characteristics of who he is as a person, or don't think all the racist things he has done indicate that he is in fact racist."
Glad we cleared that up.

I don't have an issue with people that decided to vote for Trump if it was for policy reasons, but have acknowledged that enough of the country voted to go in another direction this time.
I do have an issue with people that decided to vote Trump if they believe that he outright won, shouldn't concede and that a nationwide vote that has been conducted for decades was somehow rigged.

Okay Bo let's see if you can answer a few simple questions.
1) Do you think Donald Trump is racist?

You can educate the stupid and ignorant, but it's much harder to redeem the dishonest.

Both sides of this issue ... Which comprise roughly half of the American population in each... Think the other side is wrong.
Trafficking in certainties when there is such broad disagreement seems divisive. It's also why the disagreement over Trump seems more like religious beliefs than rational ones.

BoLevi,
Yes or No question:
Do you believe Donald Trump is racist?

Guys, the troll stirred up this exact same conversation and is following the exact same script as three days ago. Go peek the post history, same stuff, same boring pseudo-intellectualism. We're minutes away from him calling posts uninteresting. Why bother pretend this is going to go any other way?
Republicans talk about denying election results, calling to arms, violent uprising?
*crickets*
Canadian posters say mean things about Trump supporters?
"Well geeze about that Biden unity huh geeze I guess the intolerant left has some soul searching to do to fix this gregarious problem plaguing our system for which they are responsible! Oh sorry, I didn't answer your question because I find it uninteresting to me!"
Rinse, repeat.
