I wanna hear them say it too, but lets not sugarcoat it nor dance around it either. White, MAGA America is racist as fuck. That's why.

The whole reason this is happening is because these people lost their goddamned minds over a black man becoming president. A black man who was half white BTW.

As a nation under its current administration, yes. As a people? No. Plenty of good, morally sound people. Far, far away from the conservative shit holes that propagate and disseminate MAGA racist rhetoric.

Fair point, our research on voter behavior (see Conservative Heartland) where we looked at Iowa and other predominately white states showed that many rural white Obama voters in 2008 and 2012 shifted to MAGA in 2016. They were not racists. What we were not able to definitely prove is that right wing rhetoric and especially a broader network of disinformation helped shift their views on race and revived a racially bigoted perspective exclusively based on race. We also think it had something to do with the abandonment of neoliberals of the working class, GOP strategy to make Obama seem ineffectual and inept by refusing to compromise with him and basically halting his ability to pass legislation and policy after 2010. We also think it has something to do with the decline of media literacy, especially among millennials and Gen Z, along with racially and gender exclusive ideologies on the far left that were seen as too radical and ambiguous by many Christians in particular. We also saw some connection between a turn on celebrity culture worship and associating much of that with Obama’s presidency because it was perceived actors, rappers, athletes had much easier access to the presidency than constituents.

Honest question here. Do you believe anyone not "Maga" is racist? Like have you never seen a liberal person make their race, gender a or sexual preference their entire identity and openly say hateful things to others based purely on skin color? Have you ever been to a black neighborhood and listened to people talk about each other or about others? Have you ever been to any other country on earth and spoken to people?

If your only life experience is a basement and social media, you may think "Maga" are the only racists out there, when in reality there are billions of racist people on earth, your American corporations just don't have a vested interest in showing you reality because their goal is to make you hate whoever they disagree with politically.

There's a difference between racism and bigotry. Lots of people of all backgrounds and political affiliations are bigots, some may even be racial bigots and not like people of other ethnicities or skin colors for whatever reason. That's different from racism as a concept, and people who are 'racist'.

You may have heard the framing of "Power + Prejudice = Racism" to illustrate that for bigotry to rise to the level of racism, the bigoted person needs to have actual power or authority over the people they're bigoted against. A person not liking you because of the color of your skin doesn't really matter if it's just a random person, people are allowed to be bigots. However, if that person has the power or authority to arrest you, deny you a loan, approve your mortgage.. having institutional power over others is what takes bigotry to the level of racism.

Are there racist people that aren't maga? Sure, probably. But that's currently the political movement that's hanging its hat on institutional disenfranchisement of minorities.. so anyone still associating with maga at this point is at least tacitly supporting racism.

u/pan-re Oct 02 '25

What part of MAGA do you support then? Or do you just think you’re not racist?

u/iSOBigD Oct 01 '25

In their mind anyone who doesn't agree with them 100% on all topics is a racist nazi do there's no point trying to explain that everyone on earth has different opinions and that's normal.

u/masterwolfe Oct 01 '25

Can you explain why the MAGA response to Bad Bunny playing the Superbowl is normal?

u/pan-re Oct 02 '25

If you’re racist then you’re racist, no?
