4chan is just a bunch of people pretending to be racist/homophobic/... for the lulz. Only a minority are hardcore trump supporters, neonazis, ...
disinformation, deflection and plausible denialability
you can be an outright racist on 4chan ... if someone debates you, you can entertain yourself endlessly
if you aren't a racist ... you get to have some fun ... and tell everyone you are fake
if you are an actual racist ... you get to affirm your deluded beliefs ... and tell everyone you are fake
