We know what produces a Trump vote. Racism and religion. The statistics are pretty clear on that. Of course people cast around for other excuses, because most people who don't own a tiki torch, don't want to be thought of as racists.

Racism and religion are personal qualities and racism as a motivation is unlikely to be admitted by a person- so the whole notion of an inquiry is probably not going to produce honest answers.

Racism fueled the election. Racism oozed out of every rally, and bounced off the walls. Racism still oozes out of this administration. I'm not sure why it's important to observe the dignity of racists. FWIW I wouldn't be concerned with the dignity of Nazis either. And many of Trump's folks would be happily goosestepping behind him if he put immigrants in ovens- instead of cages. You know it's true.

Oh geez, Katelew accused me of being drunk when I did not agree with her. Hard to be much more personal or insulting than that. I respect her as a person even as she constantly trashes Obama at every opportunity and I just am puzzled by her flip. If this is an issue where people really are being brain-washed shouldn't this be a concern? Looking at it all the way down to the elementary level might provide some insight.
