2a) It absolutely does. Conservatives have embraced Donald Trump. American flags removed and replaced with Trump flags. I watched it happen all over. Some of those Trump flags are still out there. Donald Trump and the people that surround him have normalized racist and hateful speech. Donald Trump tells police officers at their academy graduation to rough up detainees. The GOP has bent the knee to Donald Trump and still does to this day.
Conservatism, Donald Trump, racism, and religious hatred\intolerance are all intertwined. They all compliment each other very well.
2b) If you're trying to say that people demanding that police not summarily execute unarmed black people has a negative effect on race relations, you're right. It makes the white power structure pissed off. First slavery is abolished. Then black people start getting equal rights. Then they're allowed to start living in neighborhoods with white people. And now we're trying to make it so that police can't shoot black people for no reason!?
I'm all for police using the force they need to use to go home safe. Sometimes the police have to kill. However, we're not holding them accountable for when they've done things wrong and murdered the Americans they're supposed to be protecting.
4) That's not the argument that I was trying to make. A third of the country embraces conservatism\Trumpism that has intertwined itself with racism. Maybe they embrace it because they're racist. Or maybe they embrace it because of the unborn babies [[but yet whine about wearing a fucking mask because they're hypocrites that don't actually care about "life").
5) I'm not in love with the media, but I think the conservative crowd is boogey-manning on them too hard. I have drastically reduced my media consumption because of how much opinion is injected to it.
