2. Trump shows contempt for illegal immigrants. Watch a Trump rally, and you'll likely hear him talking about how we as a nation want immigrants, but they have to come in legally.
3. Then why do they oppose abortion, oppose economic regulations, oppose high taxes, support legal immigration, oppose minimum wage, etc.? And why did Trump pledge to refuse money from corporate lobbyists during his election campaign?
4. I know; Obama and Clinton strongly opposed illegal immigration and supported a wall before Trump decided to do likewise. Now, the moderate Democrat politicians are declining - replaced by extremists such as AOC and Bernie Sanders.
5. The Democrats couldn't settle for some good, so they decided to settle for no good, instead. Seems logical.
6. No, the Republicans (specifically Trump) called for them to leave the U.S. because they consistently demonstrate that they don't like it here.
7. The Republicans weren't the ones to demonize the "Christian white male" - or any race/sex/religion (excluding extremist violent ones) in general.
1. It was overwhelmingly opposed by the south which overwhelmingly became GOP. Look into to it and ask historians.
2. He generally proposes restrictions on all immigrants (and refugees), not just illegal. He also demanded a few non white politicians go back to the country's they're "from" because only white can be American apprently. The "oh, he only hates illegals" line is a lie that no one could actually believe unless they weren't paying attention. You're either lying or not paying attention.
3. They oppose abortion for religious reasons and everything else is down to a preference for rich people over the rest.
4. Obama and Clintin are moderates now? Funny. I remember them being America hating socialists. Like Sanders and AOC are. Give it 10 years and when the GOP are running Gamergate morons from 8 chan they'll argue AOC and Sanders are the moderates. Also, I'm pretty sure they supported fencing. Not Trumps Great Wall of Sexual Insecurity.
5. So by your logic, if Republicans offer Democrats a 1% improvement for immigrants and Democrats negotiate for more, Democrats hate immigrants and reoublicans don't? Reasonable.
6. No they haven't. Trump bitched about America for years. Was he told to go away by hundreds at Clinton rallies? No. Because Clinton supporters don't view white Americans as fake non-citizens.
7. I don't even see the point of that one.
1. It does seem strange. Possibly because some who opposed forced segregation also opposed forced integration. Or because the Democrat Party's new ideological base alienated numerous kinds of former Democrat voters.
Either way, it's unlikely, if not impossible, that the Republican Party would adopt a more racist rhetoric.
2. Because we're too lenient with our immigration policy. He told those politicians to go back to their countries not because they're non-white, but because they're unpatriotic. And the "oh, he only hates illegals" line is fairly accurate, although it could be improved by adding "and anti-Americans".
3. I oppose abortion, and I'm an atheist. I'm also middle-class.
4. The Democrat Party is radicalizing. Obama and Clinton are moderate relative to current extreme leftists such as AOC and Bernie Sanders. And fencing, barriers, wall, same concept.
5. Wasn't the bill in question referring to illegal immigrants? Because I'm pretty sure that any benefit for illegal immigrants is unfair for the hard-working American taxpayer (and the legal immigrants waiting in line).
6. Trump stated that he loved the country but not the government. The leftist politicians don't like the country.
7. The radical leftists in the Democrat Party (not all of them, of course) do seem to overuse identity politics and "white privilege" nonsense. Doesn't that seem kind of "racist"?

We are not talking about Trump, we are talking about the Republican Party, if Republicans showed little concerns for the American people, no one would be Republican (because knock on wood, we are American), and it seems that more Democrats are taking more of a radical stance on immigration.
Once again, we are talking about the Republican Party, not Donald Trump. If the Democrats really thought the bill didn't do enough, they should've ammended it. They did not, they just voted it down and and continued to shout and complain about it and not do anything about immigration crisis.
No, it's because Kapernick knelt for the National Anthem and called all law enforcement officers pigs and Omar called the terrorist attacks on 9/11 just simply "someone who did something for our rights." Both are very disrespectful to our troops and first responders. Sure, it's free speech, but it's also free speech to call them out for those actions.
The Republican Party is not racist. You've yet to give me one Republican policy that is racist. There are racist Democrats. Do think the Democratic Party is racist because of it?
I went to reply to this after the other post I responded to. When I clicked on this tab and saw your last line, I've decided not to really bother or even read the full thing because I'm talking to a wall. I've explained why people view Republicans as racist and you're either not listening or don't care. I've explained why it's more than a few bad apples (it's the actual Republicans president ffs) and you respond the way most Republicans do; with a few talking points that wouldn't convince anyone with more than a 12 year olds education who didn't already agree with you because you don't seem to care about the truth. This is how you wound up with someone like trump (how can you be surprised that people think Republicans are idiotic bigots when they cheer the idiotic bigotry of an idiotic bigot?), why millions of Americans hate your party and why Republican presidents are frequently treated with either bemusement or contempt outside of America. Your party either doesn't think or doesn't care.
Next time someone calls Republicans bigots, don't ask them to explain why because you obviously don't really care why they think that or if it's true.
Your reasoning is faulty. Trump is not bigoted. He has made compromises. Also, he had campaigned to stop the prosecution of LGBT people in other nations; that sounds anti-bigoted.
The mainstream media has a reputation amongst conservatives of caring more about advancing their leftist agenda rather than spreading the truth. That's why Republicans have stopped listening to the hundreds/thousands of times CNN/MSNBC/etc. calls them racist/sexist/bigoted/homophobic/transphobic/xenophobic/anti-Semetic/Islamophobic/white nationalist/etc.
