I generally dont look to politicians to be barometers of society's level of goodwill like so many dim people these days, and I assume theyre going to justify their means to get and keep power. There is a market for power, and being a racist doesnt get you power and i dont think Trump is a racist but he stands up to the people who are trying to dictate what the talking points are going to be, that is why he resonates with people imo not because everybody is racist but because theyre sick of the power structure. I believe the Charlottesville comment is slightly out of context, imo he is talking about how things have fractured along tribal lines and there are definitely people that wanna live harmoniously on both sides of the ideological divide that are caught in the fracas that is now.
