I think we had a brillianty exceptional (and flawed) black man as POTUS for 8 years and it's easy for the GOP to devolve everything to race, and blame it on the black guy, which they quickly did. It was politically expedient and morally reprehensible. I think it's more about bigotry than racism. Trump has fooled a lot of the racists to coming out of the woodwork so they seem more prevalent than they really are. MAGA
