There are parts of America themselves that are racist, and proud of it.

Trust me, I know. I live in a place that partially fits that description, and both of my parents grew up on the other side of the state where it’s absolutely like that. East TN where I live is hilly/mountainous, which doesn’t suit a plantation economy, so was somewhat more pro-Union during the Civil War. West TN is mostly farmland, so the legacy of slavery still runs strong there.

Just amazes me when us Brits see it first hand , people proudly announcing it on TV shows and the like.
I remember a shooting a year or two ago in a gaming cafe. All the eye witnesses pointed out the shooter as being Muslim with Muslim clothes , beard and skin colour. The shooter was a white blond ex marine.......
It's comparable on a smaller scale to here in the UK. You are most likely to find racism in the council estate living folk who in turn are the majority support for the likes of ukip and BNP.

The same holds true coming the other way as well. I remember IMMEDIATELY noticing a difference in race relations the first time I ever went to the UK. Obviously that’s not to say racism doesn’t exist there, as plenty of notable incidents at football matches prove, but it’s much more below the surface in day to day life. Living my whole life in the American south, obviously I’d become numb to the ever-present tension, but once you see it removed, it’s a stark contrast.

Though I’m sure it may upset some, I have long identified with the Republican Party. That said, I am sure that not voting for Trump in 16 or 20 was the right thing to do, so that is what I did. That man should never have been entrusted with the presidency. I believe those are decisions I will look back on and be proud of.
I told my children when Obama was President that while I may not have agreed with his policies I always respected the man and the office. It pained me to have a U.S. President we could not say that about, and worse still who denigrated the office he held by his mere presence.
The president should be a leader, not an extreme narcissist.
I don’t necessarily agree with Biden’s politics, but I respect him as a leader. I sincerely hope his election returns our national dialogue to one of rationale conversation, where well meaning people can disagree without taking, or being painted as taking, ridiculous extreme positions.
Here is hoping that benefits not only the U.S. but other places as well.
The biggest fans of ballot roll-off? The GOP. It's precisely why they have enacted laws against straight-ticket voting.

Have you applaud you for this mate. Nothing wrong with having a different point of view or liking a different party. You are one of the good ones who recognised Trump for what we all saw. You put your country before your party and that has to be commended.
Well done sir.
The merry pranksters at The Lincoln Project and others were all over social media yesterday instigating this.
Thought better of my initial impulse. lol
