A fresh take

 Yes, it seems unhinged, but this is actually the argument from 538:

For many white GOP voters, anti-Black views don’t seem to get in the way of supporting a Black Republican.
It takes a while to explain it, but when that's done, it's still incomprehensible. Just trust us, it means you're a racist.

I'm struggling toward an insight, though.  It's . . . almost as if a white GOP voter were considering the policy positions of a candidate instead of the color of his skin.  But that's crazy talk.  Only a racist would think that way.
