You are not reading it carefully.
You've inferred that I meant republicans are more racist than democrats and/or the republican party has at least a large minority if not a majority of racist members. While I can understand, especially due to your bias, why you would infer such things, neither is implied in my opinion regarding the electorate's potential reactions to a Carson nomination.
Now since you don't seem to want to, or are incapable of dropping your bias-- I'll spell it out for you: We are discussing the Republican nomination, not the general election, and therefore I think it more likely that Democratic strategist/political nerds will freak out-- however, among everyday voters, for the most part, the sphincter-clenching-head-exploding reactions will be from republicans. A lot of democrats may be taken aback and have to rethink beliefs they've held, but you seem to have some strange desire for enjoying schadenfreude at the expense of anyone left leaning that your prediction here comes across as almost comically absurd.
You know what's cool? We have data on democrats' reaction to a black man being not only nominated by one of the two parties, but elected in the general. There certainly is a historically present racist contingent of the democratic party, mainly in the North East and Midwest-- but what number of these people do you think still fly the democratic flag, post-Obama, and would have a vitriolic racist response to a republican nominee being black? It's simply far fetched.
Also, I will accuse you of things. Next time I do, maybe you won't feel the need to respond with an unsaid, vague and empty threat, else I may accuse you of being childish.
