I think he is so bigoted hes unaware of his own bigotry. In the world in his head, non white people are truly lesser, and he doesnt even see anything wrong, morally, or rationally, with that. He doesn't understand why the entire country (excepting nazis) is horrified and embarassed by him. He really thinks hes telling the truth.
I agree with the last part, but Donald is an elitist, not a racist. He sees money more than color, at least in my opinion. He has several PoC on his staff (FWIW).
Im growing tired of the rhetoric on the left at this point. Democrats, more so the supporters and media, are whining too much about certain things. And they are very close to skewing the truth to get points accross, which doesnt need to happen: the actions speak for themselves. All they are doing is fueling those on the right, and making some who are fringe maybe look more toward that extreme.
I do my best not to take sides in terms of parties...because it just ends up on some street gang shit at the end ("fuck your side because reasons!")...and that has divided this country for a very long time, and it seems worse than i can ever remember...right now.
I try not to dabble into conspiracies because 90% of them are silly, but this UVA shit did appear to be very unrestrained and chaotic more than it needed to be. Let the alt-right march, and talk...and do whatever dumb shit they want to do. They WANT the attention...they wanted to PROVE they were just more than a meme on a chat board. They were trolling and it WORKED. That was the lefts' fault...i dont give two fucks about what anyone thinks, that is what happened. They got baited and triggered. Wouldnt it be hilarious if these nazi fuckers showed up to a rally...and people just walked by and didnt even give them an ounce of attention? Like just walked by and acted like they didnt exist? What if the media decided not to cover it...just covered a story about a couple who breeds puppies to give to the blind or some shit?
