Most conservatives aren't racist or sexist to the point where seeing a black man or a woman in office upsets them. Trump supporters are not a good representation of the GOP either. That being said, his supporters do scare me. Blind hate can do pretty bad things.

lmao an example fam. i.e. not ALL just SOME!
I guess studying human psychology and criminal behaviour, I can pick up on the signs pretty rapidly and easier than one who hasn't. You're kinda reflecting back onto previous times and thats dangerous, because this isn't like then.
This is big big 2016, where anyone can sign up on any app, disguised and send racist/islamophobic/transphonic/xenophobic remarks. Its so easy now. You also have got to remember the history on what you're country was built on, and how strong the racial/class divide is over there.
Then you have a man, with a huge platform, who is actively saying ALL the things you think about and WANT to happen, and giving you licence (we all know White Men inherently = intelligent, valid, especially when privileged as Donald is.
& throw in how the "coloured folk" are theatening our way of life, our police, our children and...well you can see what very well can happen
. You're generalizing the history of this country as well. Out here in the west we have little to no history of racial tension and didn't even have much involvement in the Civil War. Like you said, anyone can sign up on any app or load any YouTube video and throw out any kind of insult they want. But most if not all of these people are keyboard warriors who have no physical platform to spread their hate outside of a Trump rally. They may stay lurking on twitter and reddit hiding behind their pepe the frog memes but I doubt any of these people have the courage or power to step outside and take their "revolution" to the next level.
