I grew up in a county in rural Ohio that voted about 70% for Trump in the 2016 election. So I was mostly surrounded by Republicans until I went to college. I can say with quite a bit of authority that many of them are sexist and racist. I can also say that despite their sexism and racism, they're mostly decent people. They look out for their friends and family, they take care of their communities, they try to do what's best for their families, just like everyone else. Saying republicans are sexist and racist is just calling a spade a spade. Painting them as horrible monsters because of it is taking things a step too far.
