Calling Trump a racist may not be accurate...

Calling him a racist might divert attention from the fact that he's, among other things a proven;

1) rapist
2) misogenist
3) liar
4) pedophile
5) adulterer
6) traitor


Feel free to add to this list.

Calling him a racist overlooks so many other traits...

If a voter supports Trump, they're supporting racism. Period.

that he is destroying the United States... harming the environment, hurting people's health care and retirement, and encouraging people to vote, is how we win

attacking him personally doesn't sway his followers and the rest of us already know how vile he is...

Millions of people didn't bother to vote in 2016, or voted third party because they didn't care. Their eyes glaze when politicians talk about policies. They don't care about the environment. They're confused by the different health care sides. But one thing will motivate them - if they recognize that Trump is a racist, many of them will vote against him. I guarantee it.
