Donald Trump had a history of racially insensitive remarks long before he kicked off his invective-filled presidential campaign in June by calling Mexican immigrants “rapists.”
But there is now abundant evidence that as a presidential candidate, Trump is poisoning American politics in a way he could not have achieved as a mere mogul-cum-entertainer. His ersatz presidential campaign is winning the support of America’s most prominent white supremacists and neo-Nazis -- and in so doing, reviving dark forces in American politics that had become increasingly marginal in recent decades.
While Trump denies that he is racist and would no doubt disavow the support of white supremacist groups, his race-baiting, immigrant-bashing rhetoric has clearly struck a chord within their ranks. These predominantly white and male individuals and organizations -- who sometimes call themselves “white nationalists” or defenders of “European American identity” -- differ on some of the details, but are united in their belief that white people are under attack from the country’s growing minority groups and an elite power structure that does those minorities’ bidding. Although these white supremacists have a long list of groups they hate -- including African Americans and Jews -- they are mostly drawn to Trump for his anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies.

I meant Godwin’s Law.
What the heck is a “cum-entertainer?”
Dang, you would think the race card would be worn out by now!
AS opposed to the “Black supremacists” (aka #blackLivesMatter)
I think the “black lives matter” supporters have killed more people than Illinois Nazis
(And I hate Illinois Nazis)
Trump is threatening the left’s stranglehold on power, and so they are doing their best to destroy him.
And the lie continues, making Goebbels smile.
Their use of the term "racism" as a weapon against free discussion of an essential issue, illustrates my point. For a discussion of how that term has been morphed to a Leftist purpose, note Reality Is Not A Grievance.

“(Does Godwin’s rule apply?)”
No, it only applies when conservatives discuss the many similarities between American National Socialists and German National Socialists.
And this isn’t even satire.7
Forgot the /s.
There are a lot of leftist FReaks in here these days....
Now Trump supporters are racist. Hooray! Go Trump!
It’s kinda like those playing cards we clipped to the front fork of our bicycles to flap in the spokes. You use it until it wears out. Then you get a new card. 52 cards in the deck, well not counting jokers an such. I bet Barry has 57 in his deck.
Kinda of explains John “Heinz 57-I served in Vietnam” Kerry.
And who do black supremacists support? Oh, wait, there’s one in the White House.
Trump will pick the most capable people to bring success to his endeavors. Anyone who has watched Apprentice knows that. For heaven's sake, he kept Dennis Rodman and Amarosa around! There are many other examples of his even-handedness, the ones average folks have seen are from the show.
Huffington Post won't cover Trump as politics, Donald fires back at 'blog'
"Our reason is simple: Trump's campaign is a sideshow. We won't take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you'll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette."
Wrestling our country back from the grips of the left is not going to be for the weak of heart ...
The Trump campaign and his supporters, in the last 24 hours, has been called racist, fascist, ethnic cleansing, white supremist, and crazy. And that’s just a partial list ... The sad part is, it comes from both sides of the aisle.
All because we want our borders secure and laws enforced....
That sounds bad.
they are mostly drawn to Trump for his anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies.
Sorry, you are disqualified for not using the word "illegal" in relation to "immigrant."
You are the weakest link. Goodbye!
