Bingo. My cousin Sully would tell you that he doesn’t have a racist bone in his body, but is ok with a certain level of racism in Trump.

Let me channel my sole Trump supporting close friend: “He’s awful with that alt-right shit, but the liberals would fuck up the country, and I like money.”
No one is “okay” with it except for the racists (1/3-1/2 of Trump voters). They are doing what you slay third party voters for not doing: Weighing the good against bad and choosing which of the two party candidates most works for them.
You’re also discounting all the Trump voters who do not believe he’s racist or bigoted. You’ve got old relatives and so do I. The right wingers over 70 seriously do not see Trump as racist. You can say, “Come on... He’s using obvious dog whistles,” and they’ll call you a snowflake and say liberals are hypersensitive. You can’t be “okay” with what you can’t see because you’re so deluded.
