Of course, for the last week the political world has been buzzing over
the march by white supremacists and Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia and
President Trump's widely panned response. However, it should be noted that this negative response to Trump's assigning equal responsibility to white supremacists and those who oppose them for the violence that occurred in Charlottesville (despite the fact that it was an avowed racist who has been arrested and charged with driving the car that killed one of the people protesting the white supremacists) is not universal. 64% of Republicans agree (with Trump's statements that "both [sides are] equally [to blame]" while 66% of Democrats assign responsibility to the neo-Nazis, anti-semites and white supremacists who marched in Charlottesville.
However, as I have blogged about previously on
Saturday Politics Republicans have views about things that are very different from others, such as
viewing discrimination against groups differently based on partisan differences as well as
which groups suffer more discrimination than others.
Today's blog post is about
how Republicans view many institutions (colleges and universities, labor unions, national news media and churches) very differently than others.
