The republican party is definitely not the same platform it was 20 or 30 years ago. I tried to remain independent and often voted for republican candidates back then. It has now morphed into Trump's party, but was ripe for the pickings since the core membership has quietly slid over time to white supremacy (non white and non Christians get out) along with isolationism. Not every republican embraces this new anti morality platform, but their silence is simply passive support.

Yes indeed, now emboldened by shitheadinchief, coming up from the sewers in droves.....

If you support a racist you are in fact a racist.
That's how it works

As far as I’m concerned anyone that supported him before the election with the knowledge there is trump is the same person who, in 1973, was sued for racial discrimination; who, in 1989, called for executing five falsely convicted black and Latino teenagers; and who, in 2011, attempted to delegitimize America’s first black president by spreading the false conspiracy theory that he was not born in the U.S.

ADD all the horrific things he has tweeted and bullied people with his racist dog whistles since in office ....
Yeah GOP are racist.
