I'll bet you *did* see how some rank and file GOP'ers doin' racist stuff, even if (in the past, at least) most elected GOP officials didn't, was an understandable reason for folks to think twice about voting for them. Conceptually its the same, even though one is worse than the other.

Everyone who knows a Republican has heard them be unapologetically racist.
