"How Republicans normalized racism." [If you want better racial harmony, vote straight Dem]
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/01/how-republicans-normalized-donald-trumps-racism/How Republicans Normalized Donald Trump’s Racism
Trump’s “shithole” moment was years in the making.

Trump did not reach this “shithole” moment on his own. He had plenty of help from Republicans and conservatives along the way. His racist comment is much more than the latest reminder of his dark soul; it is a reflection of the values (or lack thereof) of a party and movement that has accepted Trump and elevated him to its highest rank.
Anytime you are feeling upset about racism in America, remember -- racism is amplified by the GOP to chase power. The BEST thing we can do to put everyone on an equal footing, to give everyone a fair shake in life, to improve harmony and tolerance in America -- the best thing we can do is vote straight Dem.
The GOP since the Southern Strategy and Reagan's Neshoba County speech have amplified racism to get votes. Today GOP propagandists - Limbaugh, Fox, Breitbart, Reason and others - all amplify racial division.
The best way to pursue racial harmony in America is to vote Dem.
