That is because they approve.

I also recently had someone tell me that it is not racist when Trump says all Mexicans are rapists and criminals because Mexicans are rapists criminals. When I pointed out that 1) sweeping generalizations about a race or ethnicity is textbook racism and 2) cited studies that show that first generation immigrations…

To me the depressing thing is that no matter who wins the election, we seem to have reached the point (on both sides, to some extent) where everyone’s bespoke information supply has shattered the concept of objective reality.

“it’s much more acceptable, when you’re running for office, to claim fear than to express hate.”

Isn't that just an immediate post convention high though? Seems likely there will be a shift this week...

Maybe he’s just getting more bigoted as he gets older, as happens to some people.

No need to apologize. I actually thought it was rather funny.

She’ll be up against Cruz in four years. You think he can be elected?

If she would have picked Booker, all you Gawkers would’ve been shitting yourselves with delight.
