Are Republican voters racist?
Not as a whole, no.
But it is a fact that racists identify as conservative, are comfortable in the GOP, and invariably vote republican.
This does not mean the GOP is racist, and the GOP neither endorses nor promotes racism. There are aspects of conservative dogma, however, as well as aspects of the republican agenda, which do attract racists – and it’s consequently incumbent upon the GOP to examine the Party’s platform, policy positions, and overall message to discover why racists are indeed attracted to the GOP.
