White Boy Day Has Arrived for Donald Trump’s Army of Nationalists

All along the farthest far right, white-supremacist groups are reaching out to draw new mainstream followers as they ride the GOP frontrunner’s extreme coattails.

It’s showtime for America’s white-nationalist movement.

Donald Trump and the extreme rhetoric of the 2016 presidential campaign have created a huge opportunity for some of the farthest-right’s groups to reach new followers, after nearly a decade in the wilderness. “He has disrupted business as usual… he’s uncovered the gulf separating the Republican Party from the people who vote for it… he’s taken celebrity culture and turned it into nationalism,” cries the National Policy Institute, a so-called think tank for white-ists.

While Trump may publicly reject their support, he is certainly helping them when he retweets messages from WhiteGenocideTM, a pro-Hitler Twitter user who has posted interviews with Holocaust deniers and is fervently behind the GOP’s frontrunner.

Also on the coattails: Thom Robb’s Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the Arkansas-based group that has recommended Trump’s opposition to brown-skinned immigrants and Muslim refugees as a great conversation-starter. The Occidental Quarterly, a journal of white-nationalist thought, has declared the real-estate mogul’s candidacy “a game-changer.” And then there’s the American National Super PAC, which is paying for the wave of robo-calls that are ringing in Iowans’ living rooms in support of Trump.
