Waking up to headline after headline about Trump ratcheting up his white nationalist, white power politics, and some about his overt racism before his Presidency, one thing is clear, he is not trying to hide his white supremacist beliefs anymore. This not just xenophobia or bigotry this is a full on in your face call to a deluded base of confederate hangovers who need to have someone else to hate, because the land of free has been pretty shit for them in so many ways
even though they refuse to look outside of this hate to see that there could be a better way. Blinded by hate of other you see.
But on a morning when leaks from the Cohen book tell us that Trump said Obama got into Harvard Law because of 'fucking affirmative action and 'accused Nelson Mandela of turning South Africa into a 'shithole' - because of course he did (I wont get into the golden showers cause *shudder*)
On a weekend when the racist in chief cancels racial sensitivity training for all federal employees because it is 'un-American propaganda' with classes on 'critical race theory' and 'white privilege' as a 'sickness in our country'. Of course the best way to tackle systemic racism is to support people in recognising their micro aggressions in the work place, and he certainly would not want to create a diverse workforce where all are talents are recognised hater in chief cant have that.
In a week when he went to Kenosha and said that protesters were domestic terrorists, while not condemning the actual Trump adorer far right domestic terrorist who shot dead two protestors it was always going to be this way.
So, the question comes to this. At this point can anyone who still supports him claim to not be racist? He is aggressively slapping his racism around the face of America. His divisive and hate filled rhetoric is emboldened by a time of chaos due to the pandemic and economic collapse and he is filling the void left by his lack of leadership, to show all of us who he is - racist to the very core of his being. Right now in this time if people are still supporting him then, yep, racist be very very racist indeed. He has stripped away any excuses he gave voters in the past to support him, even though they may have been troubled by some of the language he used on race. He is now so overt in promoting a race war that only a racist could possibly vote for him. MAGA is the new KKK and needs to be booted into history in November.

He acts overtly as a racist, and says he's not, he acts overtly as a misogynist, and says he's not, he says he's religious, and he's not (there's a joke that he can't drive by a church without bursting into flames) Americans seem to have kept their anti Trump enthusiasm going for almost four years now, the vote can't come soon enough
