      Wait, there’s people that legitimately think the GOP isn’t racist? They can’t be serious, right?

        How can you look at the past, say, 25 years of GOP history and not come to the conclusion that they’re racist as all fuck?

          Lack of education, and decades of brainwashing including an explicit underlying message purposely tied up in religion to benefit from that suspension of disbelief that everybody on the planet who isn’t a hardline far right Republican is explicitly part of a worldwide conspiracy against you specifically, low income white dude in BFE County, US with a population of 5,000, and every announcement, news story, discovery (scientific, archaeological, astronomical, doesn’t matter) is all fake to prop up the conspiracy against you specifically.
