I associate Bob with a party that regularly engages, encourages, supports and allows the use of anti-white sentiment. The Democrats aren't very smart people. Smart people don't do or allow stupid shit that creates a bigger issue for themselves. Are Democrats capable of pulling their heads out of their asses and using them as intended. We'll see.
I don't see myself as anti-white. I am white. I associate with whites. Remember how during the election Trump pointed out a black guy at one of his rallies? I can't do this at the moment. I'm somewhat reclusive, have a small number of close friends and social groups... Oh. Wait. One of the gamers in my Pathfinder RPG circle is black! I guess I'm at least as integrated as Trump. I can point at a black person too! I guess I forgot as her skin pigmentation just doesn't matter to the group at all. Not a whit.
But I'm not anti-white. I'm anti-bigot. It seems to me that many among the Trump deplorables have difficulty distinguishing between the two. I favor equality, civility, mutual respect, and much else mentioned among Jefferson's self evident truths. These are core values. As is typical of humans, I get intense and emotional about defending and advocating my core values.
It is quite possible to dislike racists without disliking whites. Deplorables might not be able to see this. Some are so obsessed with the black-white conflict that it becomes us or them at a primal level.
Anyway, in many respects, don't expect Democrats to always be logical and rational. They have core values that aren't going to shift. They see the world from a different angle. They do not see striving for equality, harmony and inclusiveness as stupid. They are more apt to see it as virtue. This in the short turn my lead to conflict, but sometimes conflict is appropriate or necessary.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
