Nationwide Poll: Most Republicans Have Racist Worldview - Trump Found Way to Unleash It

[American_Jihad]

GOPers are living in a dangerous right-wing fantasyland—and are just fine with that.

A new national poll released Tuesday has found that a majority of the Republican Party is living in a strange and dangerous political fantasyland.

“Our new poll finds that [Donald] Trump is benefiting from a GOP electorate that thinks Barack Obama is a Muslim and was born in another country,” Public Policy Polling’s analysis said. “Sixty-six percent of Trump's supporters believe that Obama is a Muslim to just 12 percent that grant he's a Christian. Sixty-one percent think Obama was not born in the United States to only 21 percent who accept that he was.”

The biggest takeaway from the PPP poll is that a majority of the Republican Party’s base is living in a right-wing bubble where facts don’t matter—and it has become increasingly acceptable to publicly voice racist positions because the leading presidential candidate is modeling that behavior.

Not only did PPP find that a majority of Republicans believe the birther lie—that Obama was not actually born in Hawaii—but 51 percent of all Republicans polled want to amend the Constitution to eliminate birthright citizenship, which is granted to any person born on U.S. soil. Of Trump’s supporters, 63 percent want to eliminate that right, and a majority said undocumented children should be deported.

“I’m not terribly surprised by the birther numbers or the numbers about Obama’s religion,” said Tom Jensen, PPP director. He said the numbers are consistent with what he’s seen in GOP polls in recent years, and matched another new poll from Iowa where about 35 percent of the state’s GOP electorate are "birthers."

But what is surprising to Jensen is how Trump’s candidacy has made Republicans more willing to publicly admit their xenophobic or racist positions.

“Trump has sent a message that it’s okay to be racist,” he said. “So maybe some racist attitudes you previously held, or were not allowed to say in public, now one of the leading presidential candidates is saying them and not apologizing at all.”

Meanwhile, the PPP poll confirms that the modern Republican Party has a majority of members who live in a racist political fantasyland: they believe Obama wasn’t born in America, and is a Muslim, not a Christian; and they would revoke the birthright citizenship of the children of undocumented immigrants, and deport them as well.

“Trump’s beliefs represent the consensus among the GOP electorate,” their analysis said. “Fifty-one percent overall want to eliminate birthright citizenship. Fifty-four percent think President Obama is a Muslim. And only 29 percent grant that President Obama was born in the United States. That’s less than the 40 percent who think Canadian-born Ted Cruz was born in the United States.”

Nationwide Poll: Majority of Republicans Have Nakedly Racist Worldview—Trump Has Found the Way to Unleash It

This certainly confirms what I've been seeing on message boards and media reports.

Conservatives in the US are so scared of the changes happening around them they will believe anything they are told that makes them feel better about the world they WISH existed.

But it doesn't and never will again. The demographics have changed for good.

Faux News and conservative radio have done and are still doing their best to try to stem this tidal wave of change, and in so doing are keeping much of the GOP supporters locked up in this bubble of non-fact and illogic.

We saw the result when these people got smacked in the face by reality right after the 2012 election when Romney lost. They absolutely could not believe it because they were told without a doubt that he would win.

What tidal wave of change? 2014 saw R's keep the House and take the Senate in historic wins. 2012 was only a washout because Romney never appealed to the conservative base. It was a McCain repeat scenario where the party elite and the media had picked the candidate. Ruh roh. RINOS lost the Presidency.

And the demographics that the media keep trying to show that there is no white majority is a lie. Check your Census data. Still the majority.

And this is why trump is doing well and the Republican party is in panic mode.

You just do not live in reality. You believe what makes you feel good.

You'd think you were talking to yourself, we understand the left very well...

What race or races is Trump being racist toward?

Liberals will tell you he is racist toward hispanics because he expects them to abide by the law and come into the country legally. They'll also say he is racist toward muslims even though muslim is not a race. And of course they'll say he's racist toward blacks just because...

Please explain how thinking Obama was born somewhere else or is Muslim is racist. If you have one parent that is white and another that is black, what race are you? Why does it matter?

regardless of the circumstance, Trump isn't accountable and there's no consequences.

Leave it to a Liberal to not be able to distinguish the difference between a concern for national security and safety of citizens and 'racism'.

AFTER the Paris attacks Obama openly mocked the PROVEN valid concerns of American citizens over our national security and safety, claiming his near fool-proof 'thorough' vetting process proved Americans were cowards who are afraid of 'widows and orphans'. Not long after that a terrorist that walked right through his 'thorough' screening process perpetrated a terrorist attack - the 4th on US soil under Obama, leaving 14 dead Americans.
(-- Funny how he chose NOT to highly publicize THAT mass shooting and condemn those 'responsible'.)

Almost every other nation in the world believes they have not only the right but the responsibility to know exactly who is coming into their country, for what purpose, and their intentions once they get here. Liberals believe that is none of our business, that their desire to ignore our Constitution and laws to enter the country illegally is enough to welcome them with open arms and present them with tax-payer funded benefits freely while ignoring the plight of homeless, hungry veterans and citizens, that doing otherwise is tantamount to 'racism'.

In reality, such an agenda / ideology amounts to eventual national suicide....but liberals are smarter than the rest of us. Just ask the families of the Benghazi dead or the 14 murdered Californians murdered by a terrorist the Obama administration allowed into the country after 'thoroughly' vetting them. The families of the unnecessary American victims of these terrorist attacks are the real 'widows and orphans', Mr. President, thanks to your administration's incompetence and arrogance.

Lack or accountability or the desire to take blame for anything is HARDLY a 'Trump Trait'. Obama has the patent on that 'baby'!

 

[Vigilante]

I believe a pole of liberals would find that most of them are suicidal!.... But we can RIG any poll to say what we want it to!
