    I’m not even sure it’s that… “principled”? For lack of a better word. I don’t know what the piece of shit version of that word is. But I think this is just them clutching at power any way they can. Being racist is either a non-issue or the asshole cherry on their asshole sundae.

      This tracks. I have some republicans in the family, and they aren’t super racist against conservative voting non-whites. Democrat is a much worse word to them than Black or Mexican.
