I disagree completely that racism is on life support. Trump and his supporters have made things much worse than they used to be. Racists are emboldened and are more open in acts of racism (e.g., spraypainting swastikas, attacking Asians on the street, throwing around hateful slurs).

In reality how many people are painting swastikas? Attacking Asians and slurring people? It’s minuscule . It does not represent what the news media is trying to suggest.

For the record I don’t know of any Trump supporters who paint swastikas, attack Asians and slur people. The suggestion is that Trump people are haters and this is what they do. It’s so stupid to believe this malarkey

The media will exacerbate these things. Really, the average person doesn’t think like this. Don’t believe the hype.

That is what causes most of the issues when some situations are blown out of proportions by some news outlet. They sometimes spin it to make it appear worse than it actually is.
