American Nazis: The Aryan Freedom Network is riding high in Trump era

Yeah, I know this shocks everybody with all the stuff that's going on and the white folks that Trump is putting in charge of pretty much everything and decades of Fox News and the Confederate statues probably going back up and the Confederate names being celebrated again it's hard to believe that the white supremacists would be rocking and rolling.

Good job non white Trump voters.



"With Donald Trump’s return to power, a neo-Nazi group buoyed by his rhetoric is expanding its reach and changing the face of white extremism in America. Its leaders: a Texas couple, both born to Ku Klux Klan leaders.

...

From a modest ranch house in Texas, the couple oversee a network they say has been turbocharged by President Donald Trump’s return to the White House. They point to Trump’s rhetoric – his attacks on diversity initiatives, his hardline stance on immigration and his invocation of “Western values” – as driving a surge in interest and recruitment.

Trump “awakened a lot of people to the issues we’ve been raising for years,” Stout told Reuters. “He’s the best thing that’s happened to us.”

...

The Trump administration has scaled back efforts to counter domestic extremism, redirecting resources toward immigration enforcement..."

"Great Nazis on both sides!!"

-Crooked donnie trump

It’s so sad to see what has happened to the country founded on such lofty annd transcendent ideals of enlightenment, pluralism, and democracy.

Steve Bowers, another Klan official at the ceremony, which didn’t involve AFN, said he isn’t a fan of Trump because of his administration’s close ties with Israel. But he said many white nationalists are fully behind the president. “People think he’s going to save the white race in America,” said Bowers, dressed in a white KKK robe and hood, decorated with two blood crosses on the chest.

Depends. Religion can sometimes be a good thing, I can't think of any instance where being a Nazi can be a good thing.

The Vatican is just as dirty as non religious folks. How many people has religion killed in the past two thousand years?

At the very least one can say Trumpism has done nothing to discourage white supremacists.

A lot but I can name a lot of good things religion has done too. Now can you name some good things Nazis have done?

I just don't see the argument religion is equal on this particular topic.

Yes. They brought Germany back from severe poverty, created millions of jobs, built the Autobahn and even gave German workers vacations they couldn't afford before Hitler before he turned into Mr. Hyde. You can dispute this but the Nazis did accomplish these things. I am by no means supporting Hitler or the Nazis, I'm not, I'm just stating facts.
