Why does me disagreeing with Trump make me an Antifa?

Maybe the same reason that disagreeing with Obama makes me a racist.
@GunSmoke9 It doesn't. Assuming that because his father was African he's not an American citizen might be racist. Assuming that the only reason he became president of the Harvard Law Review was because he was black is definitely racist.

@bijouxbroussard To many people not voting for Obama was because one was a racist. I see it on this site, other sites, and in person.
@GunSmoke9 That is rather simplistic, just like the insistence that people only voted for Obama [b]because[/b] he’s black. But I’m always amused when the same people who say [b]that[/b] are quick to add that his being black isn’t why they [b]didn’t[/b] vote for him.

@bijouxbroussard Simplistic, but true. Of course no one voted for Obama only because he's black. Right? So you don't believe anyone who said race had nothing to do with not voting for Obama? Would you vote for a black conservative for president?
@GunSmoke9 What are you arguing exactly ? you said [quote]To many people not voting for Obama was because one was a racist...[/quote] to which I replied,
[quote]That is rather simplistic...[/quote]

Then you said, [quote]Simplistic, but true.[/quote] Huh ?

But to answer your question, I would never vote for a conservative, of [b]any[/b] color. I didn't vote for Obama because he was black, so I'm willing to believe some people who say they didn't vote [b]against[/b] him because he was black. But others often have things to say about Obama that make me wonder.

@bijouxbroussard There are plenty who would never vote for a democrat, but are called racist for not supporting Obama.
@GunSmoke9 And as I said initially, that is a simplistic assessment (by those who say so). Generally is when I’ve come to that conclusion it was based on other things they criticized about Obama.
@GunSmoke9 yeah, I don't know too many people in that particular situation. Still, I have seen others in similar situations and it's rough. Sorry man.
