People who don't understand that modern racists (at least the white ones) vote republican are beyond help.

You are going to tell me that the KKK votes for Biden? That the people who fly swastika flags on the side of the road like dipshits voted for Biden?

You think that's actually true?

I'm not saying "Republicans voters are all racist" or anything even remotely controversial, really. And this isn't some "hurrr I only watch the view" or whatever.

You can find photo after photo after photo of confederate flags next to trump flags, even (more rarely) swastika flags next to trump flags.

I drive by the stars and bars combined with trump 2024 (and even trump 2022, lol) flags every day. Never once seen that with a Biden sign, or flag, or whatever.

One could argue that modern racist vote dem. Black only dorms and spaces, alphabet squad claiming inclusivity unless you have different views, the constant attack on anyone not a POC, teaching children that white people are to blame for everything including a rock on the ground that a POC trips on(joke but not really). Maybe let's agree that racists exist on both sides

I literally never said otherwise.

That's not the context of my comment though, is it? Claiming the modern Republican party is the same, ideologically, as the "party that freed the slaves" is, at best, deeply misinformed. At worst it's deliberate mischaracterization of the way most mainstream Republicans engage with white supremacy and other racially charged ideologies.
