    If you are referring to Donald Trump and the Republican Party as being systemically racist, the facts do support those accusations at all.

    Just because someone is critical of the legislative policies proposed by another person with a different skin color than theirs, does not make that person a racist.

    Yes, the facts do indeed support calling Trump and the GOP racists:

    Your final generalization does not address what is/has actually happening/happened in the GOP within the last 30 years or so.

    Twisting every comment Trump ever makes, and projecting your biased views onto them, then calling them racist, does not make them racist comments. All it does, is show how dishonest you are. Citing the southern strategy as your proof, is just plain silly.

    As evidenced by today's far left Democratic Party, people fled that party because it became a party for leftist, socialist policies, pro-abortion, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-business, anti-federalist, etc... People didn't like what the Democratic Party, has become, so they left it. Other people who want free stuff from government, and want government to make laws to benefit them over other people, joined the Democratic Party. It's just that simple
