Sorry FryGuy, but you're again positioning your reply to my post as a counter-point whilst not contradicting anything I actually said.
To me, 25-years-old is 'youth'. That's subjective though, so if you don't see it as 'youth', fair enough. Difference of opinion, not a factual contradiction.
As for the rest of your post, none of it applies to what I've posted. You won't find a single post from me claiming that the Republican party is nothing but racists, labeling Trump a racist, or anything of that nature.
I do believe that Trump's base has the lion's share of people who are prejudiced against 'others' because they are fearful and resentful that whites and Christians are becoming outnumbered by non-whites and non-Christians. And, I do believe that Trump (and Bannon, and Miller) exploits and perpetuates those fears/resentments for political gain rather than working to alleviate them. That's my very firm opinion based on observation.
This is a fact: there is a difference between someone from a religious southern state who was taught and believed that gays, and blacks, and unmarried women are less worthy than everyone else, but evolved to disown those beliefs as he/she became more educated, mature, and exposed to others........versus those who came from the same indoctrination but never evolved given the same opportunities.
Another fact: Donald Trump and his views have been endorsed by the KKK, David Duke, and white nationalist groups. You can confirm that fact easily with a quick Google search which will yield direct quotes in print, on video, at rallies, etc. Modern day Democrats, on the other hand, are the enemies of such bigoted groups, which can also be confirmed with a quick search.
However, I never claimed and would not claim that all Republicans are racists and no Democrats are racists. I don't think that's the case, so I wouldn't say it and I wouldn't post it.
P.S. Stop yer mainsplainin' man!!
