See this is exactly what I'm talking about, right here. They know that this is the exact kind of shit people like you get caught up on, and they use it as a weapon against us.
This is a man who does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. If this were a vacuum, if it was Mitt Romney or something, yeah sure. But this is Donald Trump. A literal white supremacist.
Maybe you're only aware of his exploits starting in 2016, or even back during the Apprentice, so here you go.

A wiki article about it that is literally big enough to warrant it's own page, which I'm sure would be the case for any non-racist right (show me one person who isn't racist but has a "Racial views of X" Wiki page)?
I'm glad you've read things, but maybe it's time for a refresher. Fascist tactics have changed a bit with the Internet and everything, but by and large, the tactics are the same as they were 100 years ago.
Just be mindful that these people know your virtues and are actively using them for their own gain, to ultimately take away your freedom and possibly kill you.
