[QUOTE="BMWMC, post: 5036210, member: 37461"] Being a Trump supporter, in and of itself, makes you a racist. Maybe you don't think of yourself as a racists or even believe racism is systemic in society but Trump's core supporters, and you are here, by definition, guilty of association, are wholeheartedly racists white supremist. Here is a good article with very good citations and researchable support. Of course you will have to, ya know, read it.

According to Lipset, “authoritarian predispositions and ethnic prejudice flow more naturally from the situation of the lower classes than from that of middle and upper classes.” These were the people who formed the base of the Nazi labor unions (Lipset was writing in 1959), the White Citizens Councils in the segregated American south, and race rioters in England.
