Ah yes.... the first reason for everything is racism.

The CNN host, Fareed Zakaria, has the answer, now he searching for the question.

Yeah... anyone who voted for Trump is a racist, unlike the “educated processionals who live in cities.”

What a dope.

How exactly do you manage to win elections with a “small subset”?

I'm an educated Professional and I voted for President Trump. And so did my associates...and we're ALL educated Professionals. Alas...we're also white....and working our butts off.

Trump was different....not a one issue candidate and not down on anyone EXCEPT bad people.

Sorry Fareed, that’s not it. Rebellion assumes that you and your ilk were in control, or had legitimate power. Neither of those were true.

When you are setting up an omelette, you have to get the people used to seeing the targeted group as the Other.

Racism/sexism is the blasphemy charges of the current state religion. There is no defense to it, and to be accused of it is to be found guilty.

“A small subset but he knew how to get them” Zakaria said.”

If it was “a small subset” then how come he won the election?

The CITIZENS elected Trump to stop documented foreigners like Fareed and Obama from flooding the country with fraudulently documented foreigners.

In re: “everything is racism” Please shhhhhh. Be happy when these jamooks prove they STILL have not got it. Let them squeal “racist” all they want. We’re leaning to ignore that lie and the liars who attempt to manipulate with it.

“”He [Trump} knew that the election of a black president had stirred a kind of ugly racial animus.”

Calling people that you hate “bigots” doesn’t hide your own bigotry, Fareed. It unmasks it.
