First and foremost sorry for what is possibly the dumbest question ever.

And For clarification I don’t support Trump, nor do I get involve in politics, I steer away from anything political as much as I can unless my wife wants/makes me attend, I usually just vote for whoever my wife wants me to vote otherwise I wouldn’t vote at all.

So Me and my wife got into a heated argument over this for two hours, her sister basically told her that she has to tell me that I HAVE to cut out my friend of five years from my life because since he liked/support Trump he is a racist by association, and if I remain friends with him then I am enabling racism, I know this man, I know he isn’t racist, he hates racist as much as I do (which is a lot) and he finds Trump insufferable as a person/representative but verbally supported him more over the other candidate for specific polices Trump proposed/enacted which I believe is on immigration enforcement and I think about requiring an ID to vote or something idk, but he never voted, but my wife’s sister is so adamant that he’s a racist purely because he supported him, I personally don’t believe supporting someone who’s racist automatically deems you a racist by association if your voting/supporting them purely for specific policies or laws to be placed, but I’m so politically illiterate that maybe I just don’t understand it, can someone tell me or explain to me that if/how supporting someone purely for their policies/laws makes you automatically a racist by association or not?
