These white supremacist neo-Nazi groups live in a little closed off thought bubble; they believe that they are on the political right and that the more moderate conservative movement will hail them as heroes once the communists are removed from power. They fail to realize that their anti-Semitic, anti-Israel stand automatically disqualifies them from participation, let alone influence.
Many in the progressive movement think that half of us are in this tiny fragment and that political leaders on the right just pretend not to sympathize. It has never occurred to the average progressive that the only people who actually stood up to Hitler were European conservatives.
As to the white supremacists and neo-Nazis, they usually have only high school education and got the basic idea drilled into them by their teachers at that level, that fascism is just a more extreme form of conservatism. Here again, no effort is made to examine whether fascism is really closer to the political left, from which it was hatched in Europe in its early stages.
I believe the support they espouse for Trump is genuine enough, they figure that Trump will be for the white man and against anyone else. This over-simplified world view is all they know, so they have to assess everything through that filter.
They will go away soon enough when they discover that a Trump administration is not just like they thought.

Why is it called nationalism an patriotism when everyone else wants or has their own country and it’s called Zionism in a derogatory way when Jews wanted one?
I’m definitely a Christian Zionist. It seems one can very much be a patriotic American AND a Zionist.
