(8,202 posts)Is America a racist country? Yes. I don't need to preface that by saying every individual is not a racist.
If trump had not destroyed the economy, I wholeheartedly believe that some of the people that are turning against him now would be OK with everything else.
There are far too many people who are willing to look the other way when other people are being harmed. Even when they claim to be horrified by the hurt being done.
I've said from the time that trump won that there are 3 types of trump voters, they are either bigoted, stupid or selfish or some combination.
The stupid, the bigoted and selfish will raise their head again.
That does not negate the work of all the people working to defeat them. You still have the same ol problem. 1/3 of the country supports this - whether they are bigoted, stupid or selfish. 1/3 of the people that don't care. The other 1/3 doing the fighting. So yeah, the problem is America as a whole.
