Depends on the specific person. I totally agree that discrimination of minorities shouldn't be allowed. You can be conservative without being racist.

But being racist isn't an automatic loss of a vote for most conservatives. Sure - You can be conservative and not racist, but if you are voting for conservatives who are racist... What is the difference?

What exactly is the GOP doing that is racist? Isn't racism explicitly unconstitutional? If a candidate was racist, I wouldn't vote for them.

But I haven't seen explanations for what they do that is racist. It's just people who are calling them racist, and saying you're dumb if you don't think they're racist.

Look up why republican redistricting maps in red states keep getting shot down and sued.

Gerrymandering is an effective way to get more votes. Any political party would try to do it.

Really, what we need is a system where gerrymandering is impossible.

I doubt you actually looked up what I'm talking about. Yes, both parties gerrymander, which I agree is an issue. But republican states keep getting sued due to unconstitutionally drawn maps that try to silence the black vote as much as possible
