The Partisan Divide on Issues

Thus these ethnic groups and races are scapegoats for Republicans' opposition to paying taxes, and their support for trickle-down economics. "I don't want my tax money going to these lazy people who don't work" is the leading slogan and appeal of the Republican Party, especially in the rural counties. And racism is part of the motivation because of who (they think) gets that money, and whom the Republicans don't want to spend their tax money on. And immigrants are also among those which Republicans don't want to support, but to restrict. Anti-immigration policy and politics in the USA has always been racist.

If we stop seeing these slogans and attitudes, then we will stop saying that racism is part of Republican Party policy.

Of course, if things like astrology are not included in a view of "all the perspectives," that view is not complete. It is certainly better justified than trickle-down economics and the racist dog-whistle it sounds. But, like everything else, it helps to actually understand other perspectives than your own. That doesn't happen too often.

The majority (the largest percentage) of the poor are actually white people these days. The majority in liberal run/liberal controlled areas are more likely minorities of some sort these days. The problem is, you don't seem know that's a fact and continue to use minorities as an excuse for our discontent with liberals like you. As far as I'm concerned, the hood can have you people and do whatever they want with you people. Dude, you'll never stop seeing slogans and attitudes that can be used to promote racism because your lively hood and the political power of liberal elites relies on it these days. Yep, that's what icky people like you do and skin tone doesn't matter when it comes to recruiting more icky people like you.
