I live in rural Florida... in a county that voted over 75% conservative. I have 8 DeSantis and Trump flags between my 3 neighbors houses. And over a dozen on my block of 8 houses. I am literally in the epicenter of right wing community.

Youre in the epicenter of 1 of many right wing communities. Go visit utah and youll get a vastly different vibe from them. Its the same difference between cali dems and colorado dems.

Before this I lived in Arkansas. More of the same. Before that was Vancouver, Washington, more of the same.

Are all cons bad people? Nope. Does it pull in a massive swath of racist garbage human beings? Yup. and if you're still a conservative after Trump and all that has happened... well, good luck getting me or anyone to belive you're not on the same side as the bad ones at this stage.

Are you sure what you heard was actual racism? I get told by left wingers that Im somehow racist if I say illegal immigration is out of control.

Guess Im asking whats your baseline for calling someone racist?

You're right.. I'm probably to stupid to understand the difference between racism and nuanced political debate.

Actual racism is pretty easy to spot mate. As is ignorance, and blind adherence to a party that invites and welcomes racists

Dude I grew up in utah it’s not any different; from the suburbs where people keep their racism more polite and secretive to the rural areas where you’ll get shot at for having a Black Lives Matter sticker on your car
