Most of Africa agrees with Republicans on three things:I'm guessing Africa isn't aware of The Bigot's™ racism towards dark-skinned people.
- hard work only pays off (survivors bias)
- kill the gays
- don't kill the fetuses
So you get a lot of "I'm not a fan of Trump but I agree with [insert policy]" especially from older immigrants, who grew up in the Africa of the 80s and 90s on a steady diet of IMF/World Bank sponsored neoliberal economic policies, authoritarian regimes, and woke churches ("Jesus saves and heals") or koranic schools. And when you hit them with this:
you get the "Trump did not say this, his official did" response, or the "just because he is hiring racists doesn't mean he is one" response.
