    Republicans are racists first before and above anything and everything else, this is simple fact, and has been Party dogma since The Southern Strategy in 1964, all else, the homophobia, misogyny, antisemitism, islamophobia, transphobia pales in comparrison to the simple racism that drives their white supremacist electorate and legislators
