Why are Trump supporters demonised for being white supremacists ?

Kayleigh McEnany explained on the "Fox & Friends" show Monday morning, "His point in tweeting out that video was to stand with his supporters, who are oftentimes demonized."

Because many of them are. That’s [b]why[/b] they support Trump.

@bijouxbroussard That picture on the top right, is kinda weird.
@Kwek00 It is, but sadly, one does not have to be white to support white supremacy.

I've lost total civility on this site. From my first post calmly pointing out flaws in their logic and using facts to now, as you can see in my last posts, just spewing unmitigated hate. You are an intelligent woman and seeing you again makes me ashamed of how far Similar Worlds has corrupted me. Farewell, friend. You are too good for this site.
@SW-User I thank you. It’s been pretty frustrating, especially lately.

@bijouxbroussard I honestly don't think the people with African roots were supporting white supremacy. They are probably there for other reasons.
@Kwek00 My grandmother used to say, “there’s always been a few black folks consumed enough with self-hatred that they’d join the KKK if it would have them”. It’s a phenomenon I’ve witnessed before.

@bijouxbroussard 😳

Okay, there is always a next step of stupid. But I'm pretty sure the people in that particulair picture aren't there for the KKK or white supremacy.
@Kwek00 Alas, they might as well be. They share that affiliation, especially now.

@bijouxbroussard I've seen that tweeted video a couple of times by now... but I think both sides are pretty ridiculous in that one. But it's a fact that Donald needs support from that particular corner of the political realm and he pampers too it.

@bijouxbroussard [i]The phenomenon called “psychology of oppression” is the psychological effects of social oppression and the psychological requirements that sustain social oppression. In other words, social oppression [u]includes a psychological complement in the victim that contributes to his subjugation[/u].[/i]
It occurs in all kinds of oppression. I think in a similar way to Stockholm Syndrome, the instinct for survival means that in the end some people speak up for the oppressors.
