Quote : "Can you explain how believing in regulations, federal legislation, and socializing of institutions is racist?"
Nope. I didn't construct that straw man, you did. So perhaps you will answer your own question, but I doubt it.
Quote : "Or is the only correlation that only liberals are Democrats (they’re not), only Democrats fought against the US in the Civil War (they didn’t), and since Lincoln was a Republican who freed the slaves, anyone who fought against that was racist (they weren’t), and anyone who votes against Republicans then or now are still racist today regardless. (Nope!)"
Same answer as last time.
Quote : "Or am I completely off the mark in my general assumptions of your nuanced perspective."
Yes. Also, there was no nuance in what I said.
Quote : "In fact, I’d say it’s much more true that if you scratch a Trump Supporter, you’ll find a former Democrat. Or someone raised by one."
Given that I can provide proof of my assertion from the White House right down to the rank-n-file liberal it is difficult to impossible for you to refute any of it. My particular favorite is the "progressive" mortgage loan company specifically set up to fight racism in the lending industry... getting caught being racist as all hell in discrimination *AGAINST* blacks. Not a Republican to be found anywhere in that scenario, and yet plain, everyday liberals just cannot help but be racists even when they espouse they ARE doing just the opposite.
Scratch a liberal, find a racist EACH. AND. EVERY. TIME.
