The grouping and assumption of someone’s goodness or badness being based on something as complex as a political opinion is also crazy. There are multiple policies and sometimes people just do things to follow the crowd. Being misguided is not the same as being a bad human
Race is something you are born into and to assume all people of that race believe the same thing is ridiculous... They are a group of individuals tied together by chance. Republicans are a group tied together by beliefs. If those beliefs are bad, then the entire group is bad because they all believe the same thing because they all willingly joined that group
You’re saying all republicans are exactly the same? The awful, vile, racist nazi trumpers are the same as the quiet country family that go to church and do charity work and only vote r because they always have and their church community all vote r. They have an exchange student from Africa staying with them because one time they did some missionary work there and thought the people were great? If you think those two are the exactly the same and even believe the same thing I can’t see how that’s all that different fundamentally than racism.
Yet both of those groups vote for the same politicians and policies. You can live your life how you want but you show your hand in the voting booth
