Implying all "Trump base voters" are racists & Nazis is really going to win over the swing voters in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania that cost Dems the last election! I didn't vote for Trump in '16, but this example of deranged hatred makes it more likely I'd vote for him in '20

Yes you did HOWARD… but I have come to expect the predicable douchebaggery that is constantly spewed forth from your pie hole…

Accusations of Racism in Politics
Firstly, one of the most habitual talking points of Democrats are accusations of racism. The aforementioned accusations increased considerably over the 2016 Presidential election and beyond. Many left-leaning Americans opined that President Trump, himself, is racist. They moreover stated that Republicans, conservatives, and other Trump supporters harbored ideologies reminiscent of Neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
However, as seen in response tweets to Dean’s commentary, Trump supporters have a different outlook. A majority of conservatives and Republicans furthermore believe that the true racism exists on the left-leaning and Democratic side. Right-wing Americans also regularly assert that Democrats would lack a platform if they did not accuse various groups of racism.
What Do Americans Think of Dean’s Most Recent Statements?
Like many events in today’s political climate, Americans have not hesitated to weigh in with their thoughts and feedback. Moreover, various observers expressed both agreement and disagreement with Dean’s assertions that Neo-Nazis are “Trump base voters.” Nevertheless, the great equalizer between both sides is that everyone maintains their own opinion.
