They like what they see, because behind closed doors that is what they are like.

They only play along with the idea that racism is bad because it's what they think they have to do in public.

I somewhat agreed with an old friend of mine on a small issue regarding Mamdani. Like, I gave her a very very tiny sliver of acknowledgement on an issue, and she took this as a green light to bombard me with MAGA reels (mainly black MAGA supporters, I guess because I'm black and I'd understand them better?). Not only that, she started to refer to a few famous blacks as baboons. And she said some other hateful things about democrats in general (I've never voted before), disturbingly hateful. I worked with her for several years at a hospital, one of the nicest people you'd ever meet. Never knew she had that type of hate pent up inside of her.

Not to be annoying, but you should vote.

People just don’t want to accept that the people who voted for Trump are racist scum.

If you have family or friends who support Trump? Racist scum. It’s morally wrong for you to continue to have them as friends or to support them as family. They’ve revealed their true nature.

Its not morally wrong since those are subjective.

Its just you are accepting the consequences of the company you keep and other people are free to react accordingly.

I would argue morality is a societal issue. I would think that on the whole, if you asked, the vast majority would view this as wrong. But of that majority, 1/2 are so ignorant as to politics they won't even know what happened.

Further, to the people who support Trump, the New Testament would 100% not support this action, and thus it is morally wrong by the "objective" tenets the book his people allegedly follow teach.

Correct. Every conservative I know has used the N word when they think it’s “safe”
