That's what you and others say and tell each other time and time again, but have the sides really changed as a supporting racism and racist views goes? Yes, the group has changed and the skin color has changed but the dedication to keeping racism alive and separating people by race is still there. I think it's very clear that race doesn't matter to me as much as race matters to you guys these days. I think it's also very clear that you guys are on the modern day version of the Confederate side as well.

The suburban cake eaters ( the never Trump crowd) and the suburban women who lean Republican don't like Trump because Trump ain't their type of politician so to speak. He's to gruff and rough around the edges and says some stuff that's viewed as politically incorrect that upsets some people which makes them feel uneasy and insecure or scared about what others think of them or might do to them these days. Yes, the Republican side still has some pansy people who aren't sure which way the country is going to go at the moment. I agree, the Republican party is becoming more of a middle class oriented party these days and the Republican party hasn't adjusted to its new role very well at this point. The way I see it, the Tea Party is gradually taking over and becoming the dominant force of the party.

You don't have a definition of "American," although you expect us to be that. Your definition of racism is also reversed. Those of us whites and liberals who care about racism, are defined by you as racist because we care about racism and acknowledge it as an issue, whereas folks like you who want to ignore and enable it are not racists because you want to cover it up.

Your definition of gruff and rough needs some work too. The problem with Trump is that he's a psychopath and sociopath without any principle or dedication to his job. If some Republicans don't go along with this madness, you call them pansies. For you, to not be a pansy is to go whole hog with insanity.
