"We are called racist, but no one is racist. We are called xenophobic, but all we are asking for is that the laws are upheld."

I can't comment for the States as I live in Europe... but 99% of the big vocal trump supporters at this side of the ocean are racist and xenophobic like there is no tomorrow. In this country the only political trump supporters are the ones that has historic ties with the nazi's. That the most vocal European Trump supporters at political sides are in most case from extreme right political parties is also very telling.

So yeah it could be that you aren't racist or xenophobic but his message also really speaks to racist all over the world and that is fact.

Are you sure about this. I mean I don't know. But anyone you ask it always goes: "These people are scary and are Nazis".

When I listen to Nigel Farage - I'm like - it seems reasonable - but then someone is like "let me educate you...blah blah blah".

If someone is saying someone is a Nazi, then you back the fuck away from what ever you were just thinking.

There will always be some of the crazies like this. But on both sides. I mean there will be full communists on the left. But the white-supremist kind of crazies are definitely the worst.

I think these topics are too taboo that no one goes near them. And again I would say that this election was decided in the no-mans-land of race and religious relations that no moderate dare touch for fear of being labelled a racist for going anywhere near it.

I live in "Europe" as well, and don't see that "99%"

That all racists support trump is not the same as all trump supporters are racists. Can you provide more evidence that "the only political trump supporters" are racist? It's not "telling" if it not true.

No one is saying all Trump supporters are racists. We're just saying that at least the supporters participating in the KKK Trump victory parade are :-)

So, not all, just 99% of the vocal ones. Or, in some country, all the ones with historical ties to the Nazis...

So the communist party would celebrate a Bernie win. Have you seen what communists have done last century?

No with big I meant politicians (the le pens, the wilders, the farages, ...) it's my fault I could have chosen my words better.

The only political parties that seem to be happy are the extreme right wing parties, that's was what I'm trying to say although very poor :-/
