Wanted to say something to the Trump voter apologist Chris Cillizza

On Twitter, Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post posted this “The assumption that ‘Trump voter = racist’ is deeply corrosive to democracy. Also wrong,” and later said that there “is nothing more maddening—and counterproductive—to me than saying that Trump’s 59 million votes were all racist. Ridiculous.”

Mr. Cillizza, not only were all 59 million Trump voters racist, I would guess that a large percentage of those who voted against him were also racist. They just didn't fall for his schtick and figured he would screw them over as well as minorities.

I've lived all over this country and have never been anywhere that racism wasn't close to universal.

Pull your damn head out and take an honest look

No racist ever really considers themselves racist.
