The only place where there is rampant racism in the Republican Party is in the minds of Democrats.
Yes that is precisely the exact talking point from the Republican Party, the party of Lincoln. Only it has not been the party of Lincoln since at least the 1960's. I guess you never heard of the Southern Strategy.

Please don't tell me this is a lie or liberal propaganda.

In a study of the 2016 election the authors "found support for Trump “was strongly linked to how Republican voters felt about blacks, immigrants, and Muslims, and to how much discrimination Republican voters believed that whites themselves faced.”"

The problem is how Republicans apparently define racism. As one Trump supporter said, Mr Trump doesn't own a black slave. Or to say it another way, Republicans define racism so narrowly that only the use of the word "N&&&R" qualifies as being racist.

So NO!!!! your belief, and that is all it is, a belief, racism does not exist in the Republican Party, is some delusion you want to believe, unfortunately it is simply not true nor valid. And here where I live, where The Trump Base resides, they are all 100% racists.

Very sad ... and even more sad when party leaders continue to use the phrase "The Party of Lincoln" as if the Base is something other than racist. What do you think all those elected Republicans fear?

But don't take my word for it. Take the word of the KKK or the neo-Nazis. They understand completely what Mr Trump is talking about, and he speaks their language.

ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions
