Guys, if you're arguing that the only way racially-motivated voting manifests itself is whether you vote for a black or a white guy then you're being incredibly obtuse. The fact is that Trump ran a campaign founded and centered on white racial resentment. Romney did not, McCain did not.
This. It really doesn't matter if you voted for a black guy. You can still be a racist pos. They aren't mutually exclusive things
I mean, maybe this is proof I'm an amoral political type, but does it really matter what they think deep down if they at least vote the right way? Like, in a level that is personal to me, a lot of Labour's traditional, elderly voters probably think transpeople are gross or weird, but I would be beyond furious if the leadership effectively wrote them off as UKIP voters or whatever. It's the nature of political coalition building.
