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.

This is exactly wrong. We are saying they do not put enough weight on his racism. If they did, they wouldn't fucking vote for him. But racism is either not that important to them or they like it. We are slaying them because their calculation when it comes to race is off such that they can see it with their own eyes and either cheer it, ignore it, or think it's not fatal to his candidacy.

Absolutely no one is discounting these people. These people are deluded about their own racism. If you don't can't see clear racism, then you are okay with racism.
