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

[NightFox]

If you have one parent that is white and another that is black, what race are you?

Human.. you know, the one that the "tolerant" progressives always refuse to acknowledge.

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...

No I'm talking to you and every other con bugwit that relies on 'feelings' rather than fact.

Trump is a racist pure and simple, and he has made it ok for the large minority in the Republican party to let their inner racist out of its cage.

Wail away.

He has no chance in a general election. Which is why most Democrats love the fact that he is trampling the Republican party.

Just for the record I do not trust any poll, as it is quite easy to manipulate the questions to get whatever answer / response / numbers you are initially looking for. Just MY opinion...

The government and liberals seem all fixated on race. I personally do not fill in that information as a rule. Don't really care about it when I meet someone either.

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, let the OP speak for itself.

I'm not stopping him/her.

Yeah, whatever. I don't buy into the polls, I don't trust the agencies, too easy to skew the questions and results, I certainly don't trust an agency whose founder and CEO donates exclusively to one party, fails to disclose his contributions when they are made to a party for whom his agency is conducting polls, and whose employees admit to openly rooting for one candidate in the poll to lose. But that's just me...
