And FYI? Voting for a racist asshole makes you a racist asshole. Even if you lost yr job.

It's kind of hard to argue that the places that voted for Obama in the last two elections to voting for Trump in this election are all racist against black people. Perhaps they all didn't notice Obama is black? Or is the hierarchy to vote for a racist, then vote for a black guy, then vote for a regular Republican?

It's simplistic and easy to label them all racist, but one that inherently puts up a wall that makes people defensive. Telling them they are all racist because they voted for Trump doesn't exactly make them likely to vote Democratic next time. It certainly didn't work out that well this past election.

But also labeling them all racist means you don't have to actually think about how we as a party might need to address different groups in society. You've made it clear that you aren't even willing to consider the notion that your basic assumptions might not be right. It's easy, it's appealing because it means it's all somebody else's fault. Which means that you have no agency as what can you do? Everybody who disagrees with you is racist.
