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.

Considering that the supposed "libertarians" in the Tea Bagger (lol) movement willingly support a toddler with fascist tendencies these days, it's likely the only reason there was so much vitriol in 2009 was probably Obama's race.

The only reason some libertarians voted for Trump was because they thought he would end the neocon foreign policy of his predecessors.

Causally talking about dropping nukes in Isis don't tip them off?
