It's far far more than 1%. Vast legions of his supporters cite him saying things that others are not willing to, and that all comes down to his racist views.

It takes a special sort of doublethink to not acknowledge which views he states that no other politician is willing to say.

Agree, pulling a number out of my backside it feels like at least 10% of the country have some sort of white supremacist leanings.

It really doesn't take that many engaged voters to dominate a conversation if it's allowed. 99.5% of the republican base will vote for anyone with an R next to their title.

I think that’s true of both parties

When you have an openly racist candidate, shouldn’t that outweigh a voters political party loyalty? Cause that’s basic human decency.

>But my point is, I very much doubt this is representative of 100% of the Republican electorate. I think its probably something like way less than 1%.

Some people just want the trains to run on time. I understand that. However sometimes there are more important issues. In those instances it is hard to see people ignore those issues in favor of the train schedule.

> I very much doubt this is representative of 100% of the Republican electorate. I think its probably something like way less than 1%.

Maybe or maybe not, but 100% of the people that voted for Trump were, by definition, willing to tolerate his white supremacy ... otherwise they wouldn't have voted for him.

People who voted for Trump believed that what Biden represented was worse than what Trump was represented. Personally, I think they were terribly wrong.

Is someone gonna explain the flaw in my logic here?

You do know Biden gave the eulogy for a klansman right? The hypocrisy from the left is thick.

That's misleading / false: https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-afs:Content:9545480...

It isn't false at all. Byrd was a KKK member and Biden did speak at his funeral. It's in no way false or misleading.

It's misleading because Byrd renounced his beliefs. The NAACP says: "Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation. Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country."

You didn't read the linked article, did you? Byrd changed his ways and was even praised by the NAACP for his capacity to change:

  “Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this
  nation,” read a statement by NAACP president Ben Jealous.
  “Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK
  to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act,
  the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal
  legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of
  our country.”

It may not be false to say that Biden spoke at Byrd's funeral, but it's definitely misleading to call it hypocrisy.
