Trump DOES Have A Basket Of Deplorables

Click here for an article at Mother Jones by Sarah Posner and David Neiwert entitled "How Trump Took Hate Groups Mainstream." It's said to be "the full story of his connection with far-right extremists."

Trump rode down the escalator and into the presidential race in June of 2015, whereupon: "

I urge all readers of this site to do whatever they can to make Donald Trump President," wrote Andrew Anglin, publisher of the neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer, 12 days later. Anglin, a 32-year-old skinhead who wears an Aryan "Black Sun" tattoo on his chest and riffs about the inferior "biological nature" of black people, hailed Trump as "the only candidate who is even talking about anything at all that matters."

Other Trump supporters prominent in the alt-right world include Kevin MacDonald, "a 70-year-old silver-haired former academic who edits the Occidental Observer, which the Anti-Defamation League calls "online anti-Semitism's new voice," and Peter Brimelow, editor of the anti-immigrant site VDare.com. "The thing that delighted us the most," [Brimelow] wrote, was Trump's plan to close "the 'Anchor Baby' loophole," denying citizenship to the American-born children of immigrants—a policy that Brimelow said he had been advocating for more than a decade. Another is Jared Taylor, "who runs a white nationalist website called American Renaissance and once founded a think tank dedicated to "scientifically" proving white superiority." Taylor says that "Trump was the first presidential candidate from a major party ever to earn his support because Trump 'is talking about policies that would slow the dispossession of whites. That is something that is very important to me and to all racially conscious white people.'"

There are others: "Don Black, a former grand dragon of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and founder of the neo-Nazi site Stormfront; Rocky Suhayda, chair of the American Nazi Party; and Rachel Pendergraft, a national organizer for the Knights Party, the successor to David Duke's Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Richard Spencer, an emerging leader among a new generation of white nationalists known as the "alt right," declared that Trump "loves white people."

"The success of the Trump campaign just proves that our views resonate with millions," Pendergraft told us. "They may not be ready for the Ku Klux Klan yet, but as anti-white hatred escalates, they will."

There's much more; it's a long, interesting read.
