Overgrown ‘basement boy’ and huckster, still wildly wet-behind-the-ears for someone of his ostensible age:

I understand the Biden campaign has disavowed this endorsement. It still throws a monkey wrench into the Rats belief that the white supremacists vote GOP.
Based upon his record, if Biden isn’t white supremacist, then who is?
For a while he was allowed on all of the liberal talk shows, etc. because the alt-right was getting lots of traction on YouTube, but then I believe he attended Charlottesville and was black listed.
I believe he still has a YouTube channel or is on BitChute or other alternatives. He has been disowned by much of the alt-right because they believe he is just a grifter making money off regurgitating alt-right talking points.
I believe he is also gay which turns off some on the alt-right who are pro-western-European-heritage and don't cotton to gays.
I can understand why so many blacks support Democrats because the Democrats have treated them so good starting with the Civil War, Jim Crow, the KKK, segregation in the South, and boycotting the Civil Rights Act for 57 days.
That’s a really good point.
Who?
Who is Richard Spencer?
I’m actually laughing out loud. Richard should do some “partying” with Hunter to make this endorsement stick! Lol. I can’t believe that Biden had to “forcefully” disavow this. I think he should have to a few (thousand) more times.
You are not far off. He actually coined the term “alt-right” and he was a scheduled speaker at the Charlottesville event and a main litigant in the lawsuit to get the permit. He’s a smart guy and a decent public speaker. His popularity on the “dissident” right is in free fall because of multiple failings. He is perceived as a drunken cokehead (that group is very against drug use), he is an atheist (that group is mostly Christian), he has been soft on gun control (that group is 100% 2A), it sounds like he was a bad husband to his ex wife (that group is highly patriarchical), he is somewhat effeminate (that group is utterly anti-gay for the above reasons), his new girlfriend is a leftist, he is way too closely connected to people who are Deep State assets/informers (The Right Stuff, for example), he is also way too connected to fat people who want to play 100 years ago dress up and brawl in the streets with commies (The Traditional Workers Party and other fatties). All of that is the opposite of where the “Far Right” is headed.
He’s a disaster. His original appeal was to younger generation X and millennials who didn’t find a home in the GOP. Those people have less cringe options, and younger right wingers reject him as a joke. He is simply what they call a “racist liberal.” Now, this will all be very confusing to baby boomer conservatives, but that is the lay of the land.
Beginning to think he’s a “plant”. Never heard of him.
Yes, Smart move by Spencer.
Who Knows?
He’s probably as batshit crazy as his history suggests.
I hope the Feds (if we still have honest ones) are watching him closely.
