You really think racism might work to prevent her from being President? Do you think Republican use it out loud or just a major subtext? I admit, I spoke with a Republican Trump supporter I met for the first time, last week, who said to me, "If we don't keep that n##### bitch out of office, we may all be needing our weapons to kill snakes". This came right after, discussing my having to shoot a Cotton Mouth Moccasin, that had taken an interest in me and my kayak, on the river, I had just gotten off of. We had not been discussing politics, yet he felt comfortable, expressing this thought, out of the blue. Having no polite reason to confront or insult this generous country man of similar age, a blacksmith by trade, that was giving me a ride back to my Jeep, 20 miles by road, out of his way, my response was "She is an interesting person, isn't she." Yet, I knew where I was, and that this was probably a common sentiment in the area of otherwise normal, generous God-fearing church going country folk. And, this was not like when a local politico sought me out, to train the militia nut-balls he was involved with, while Obama was running for office, yet the language was the same and sentiment the same. In that instance, I did become very forceful when I rejected, both forcefully and insultingly, prompting calls from people that knew me, urging me to take no physical actions against the man. Assuring me his threats to my safety and that of my family would not be pursued in any way.It's very tiny but only because she's a black woman. If she were to win though, I don't believe that by fraud would be an absolute guarantee like Biden. It would just depend on the circumstances. However, with all the indictments and two assassination attempts I still believe that the democrats basically handed Trump the election. For the sake of our country I'm hoping and praying that I'm right.
So, is there (at the least) an undercurrent racism purposely used or advantaged by the campaign? Yes. Will it make the difference? No. I am positive, beyond the shadow of a doubt, he will not be re-elected. Too many people, know who they are dealing with.
