[solipsism]

While it's obviously true that not all Republicans are racist (for any given definition of racism, it's not a well-defined word), it is disingenuous to imply there's not a problem with racism in the Republican party, to a much greater degree than the Democratic party. Same goes for homophobia, islamophoboa, jingoism, and xenophobia.

You don't have to admit it. In fact, the fact that do few Republicans admit it is the reason they can't stop being "the stupid party," despite their best efforts. It's the reason the GOP is dying, and might very well die this election, if Trump is elected. So by all means, pretend there's no problem. Meanwhile plenty of serious Republicans are aghast at how much the Republican electorate and the establishment, not to mention the more fringe psychos, have destroyed anything good the GOP may have stood for with this fear-based insane focus on social backwardism.

Talking about the Republican party of Lincoln's time is silly. How is that relevant? No Republican alive today was alive then. It's a completely different party with completely different values. I'm sure you also like to mention how the Democratic party was home to the KKK decades ago. Just as irrelevant.
