Or do you excuse your PC friends when they call these people mean words, because you agree with them?

Every 4 years My "PC" friends almost unanimouisly call republicans rednecks and nazi's and bigots, fascists, and rapists, etc etc etc. Why is it impossible for people to think that after so many years of that, those people get angry.

Even in this thread, trump supporters are called racist, because they want to restrict immigration.

Wait! Trump's pronouncements are prejudiced. Its not just "restricting immigration." Everyone on the Republican platform is for "restricting immigration." He specifically thinks that Mexican immigrants and Muslim immigrants in particular should be restricted. Granted people are guilty of lumping in religious prejudice with racism. But that isn't your main issue with it.

That is not a poor position, or a southern position. I don't think you can conflate criticism of that position with prejudice against republicans. Most republicans are against targeting members of a religion or race.
