Just defining bigotry, from whites, blacks, left/right who are the extreme fringes of societies, morality, or intelligence. The key requirement for the other factors is of course, ignorance.
How many of the shooter’s acquaintances talked on every occasion of the threat to the shooter’s self and loved ones from ‘THEM’? How often was his own opinion reinforced by people he respected and admired, people who may have been leaders in his community at church, in the business community, or politics? How many times was he told that the hardships he was enduring was because of ’THEM?How many comments did he read where people insulted those with whom he agree and where he read with “Righteous Indignation” the insults of those he would deem to be allies?What was the last conversation he was part of before he took his gun to hunt Americans? What was the last book, magazine article, or webpage he read before leaving to kill neighbors?Curiously,C.
I can’t get inside the mind of a White Supremacist anymore than I can the thinking of folks like Tigger. Trying to equate the vile hatred The Klan has against Jews & minorities with a Democrat is ludicrous.
If you want to bring party affiliation into this, then know that yes, Dems owned slaves. Wealthy Northern Whigs and Republicans owned many plantations in the South that used slaves. Northern Republicans abolished slavery, but within a decade abandoned the Blacks by making a deal with Southern states so they could hang on to the White house a little longer.Today, Blacks benefit more from Democratic policies than Republican ones.
Supremacists have usually been subjected to extractive ideology and exploited like white trash most of their lives. I.E. Republican ideology that supports the right of the one percent to exploit them.
“God is love.”“Love is blind.” “Ray Charles is blind.”“Therefore, Ray Charles is God.”
For more, I recommend you hunker down with Alice in Wonderland. Its author was truly a mathematician, and the book is nothing but logic (except for the poem Jabberwocky, whatever that’s about…).
Everything follows logically, but it makes no sense. Perfect example.
A side story: the Queen of England was so taken with Alice in Wonderland when it was first published that she requested the author send her all the other books he had published. He sent her a bunch of math texts.

I would think they would have excellent teeth. I mean, god forbid if their teeth weren’t perfectly white, right?

Louis Farakan has his own version of supremacy for black people. Ohhh, sorry, Nick Anderson, did you think only white people could be racist?

Don’t you mean Conservative mind? It seems to fit better since most Supremicists seem to also be Radical Conservatives!

Irrelevant: Democrats then are Republicans today. Note, for example, the late Strom Thurmond.

“The Klan was formed by Democrats.”Former Klan grand dragon David Duke represented Louisiana in Congress as a Republican.

I don’t think a single “right winger” chimed in in defense of white supremacists. Reduce the dosage on that Kool Aid..Great cartoon.
