According to research published in peer-reviewed journals, a lot of conservatives.
Research Finds That Racism, Sexism, and Status Fears Drove Trump Voters
So racists being forced to take responsibility for being racists was something that was accomplished with "devious cleverness". Um, OK?
I have no idea what type of person you are. But the research published in peer reviewed journals, such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences say racism was one of the main factors that drove Trump voters. See link above.
As for bigoted statements from Trump, he does it constantly, heck even the leader of his own party agrees:
Ryan: Trump's comments 'textbook definition' of racism'
I would say the people driven by racism are the true "divisive ideological vampires." That would be Trump supporters, so if this really matters to you, you should switch sides now.
We don't need to guess. The research is in:
Research Finds That Racism, Sexism, and Status Fears Drove Trump Voters
Jesus.
Did you read any of the pablum in that twice referenced article? You do know that the left has control of academia and that just because its reviewed by a bunch of leftist "peers" does not make it science, right?
''Participants also took short tests measuring their level of "social dominance orientation"—the notion that "
superior groups should dominate inferior groups." Those whose thinking moved in that dark direction between 2012 and 2016 "were particularly likely to shift in support of Trump," Mutz writes. This indicates they felt "a rising sense of threat to the dominant group's status."
Hmmm... so the superior groups... what does that mean even? To leftists wouldn't that mean leftists? Dont you think your side should dominate we supposed dumb conservatives? This is silliness dressed up as science. It is solely stupidity. The whole article has weasel words like "suggests" or "potential"...
For instance
"...on trade, immigration, and China," Mutz reports.
Why were these policy positions so important? "All three of these issues capture
potential racial and global status threat," she writes. "Trade opposition captures Americans' fear of takeover by more dominant economic powers," while internally, increased immigration threatens the supremacy of whites."
Wow. Sounds more like crystal ball, tea leaves or chicken intestines readings. That we want to remain at the top of the world economy in a global competition suggests we are racists? If we want to win an Olympic sport against another country... does that too "suggest" us "potentially" racists against all other countries...? I mean, its stupid on its face.
And allowing too much immigration that might affect, overwhelm our ability to assimilate and to prudently govern thus ruining ["potentially"] the beauty of our carefully crafted system for our posterity... we cannot have any concerns about that, eh? How stupid does your side think they have dumbed the rest of us down to?
We arent there yet.
Racists? We might have the occassional racist on our side... all your folks pushing the white man, Republican white woman bits are the racists. We hardly ever bring up color, its your folks that are the racists. Better back off especially on the "old white men" bashing... thats racist and ageist... Yano? Its high time we older white guys start suing, taking your side to court for such comments.
Ryan is not on our side, he is not a republican, he is an establishment globalist, bought and paid for.
As indicated above the peer reviewed nonsense taking three alleged factors and extrapolating racism from American views on trade, immigration [there ARE two types of immigration you know, legal and illegal] and China is, as stated before, silly. That it confirms the elitist racist bias of the left is readily apparent.
I would agree that your side are the racist vampires as they drive this racism mirage constantly. We dont care what color you are, we care if you hold American values... yes, as opposed to the European leftist racist ones foreign, and hopefully ALWAYS foreign, to our way of life.
Hey, we are no longer fooled by hypocritical Hollywood, addled academia nor fake news... sorry, market your defective wares elsewhere.
