Everyone's an asshole when it comes to politics. Myself included.

Don't lump the Sanders supporters in with the Clintonites. We don't appreciate it very much.

@IvanKaramazov: Hard evidence is what you stick to? Wow... then when exactly has trump been a racist? And btw saying Illegals need to be deported is not racist and saying many drug dealers are rapists are coming also isn't racist (in fact it's true).

Also show me those figures because there is literally NO WAY obama received as many death threats as Trump. I see these liberals chanting death to Trump in the streets everyday (I'm in Boston). Never saw that anywhere about Obama even in hillbilly incest redneck conservatard places.
@heatherpommelman: Nope, you're actually right about the death threats against Obama thing. My information was out of date. Here's the politifact bit: http://www.politifact.com/georgia/statements/2013/mar/18/julian-bond/no-concrete-evidence-support-claim/

As to Trump's racism, you are taking one very, very charitable reading of his remark. Too charitable, I would say. The relevant one that I think you might be referring to is the one that goes, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems...they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." Now you could pretend that somehow he switched from meaning "Mexican immigrants" to "drug dealers" at some point in that jumble, only to switch back to "Mexican immigrants" for that last sentence, but that strains credibility. The reading on the face of it is that he was talking about Mexican immigrants, called most of them drug dealers or rapists, and then as an afterthought said there might be some good ones in the bunch.

But that aside, this bit is a decent primer on Trump's history of handling race relations: http://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racism-history . If that one isn't enough for you, then I really have nothing further to say. At a certain point, the patterns are obvious. And although you can't look right into his mind and go, "Yep, there's the racism," you can get a pretty good idea of what he believes based on his actions. Especially when you consider that the white supremacists and Neo-Nazis flocked to him in droves. Not to say guilt by association should be telling, but Trump lacks much in the way of actual policy. He's mostly rhetoric. And these people lap it up, and he seems rather blithely okay with that.

@IvanKaramazov: That scum always flocks to the Republican Party. But I genuinely, as someone of Hispanic descent, don't think he's a racist. Most of the people who come here illegally are criminals of some sort. Whether they're drug dealers or just people stealing stuff that's who they are. Many are good people, but many are also criminals. Actually all are criminals because they've just violated the US law on borders.

I don't think all applies to either side. It's just that the loudest people are the biggest morons and give others a bad name.
