Richard Spencer is "supporting" Joe to hurt him. Until proven otherwise, that's what he is doing

He gets no benefit of the doubt.

He is scum and they have proven time and time again that they will do will whatever it takes to hurt Democrats and win.

Money he's either been promised/received or that he hopes to get from certain parties.

While I don't disagree with your assessment, it really doesn't matter.
Likely 95% of voters don't know who this tool even is.

Richard Spencer’s clean-cut appearance conceals a radical white separatist whose goal is the establishment of a white ethno-state in North America. His writings and speeches portray this as a reasonable defense of Caucasians and Eurocentric culture. In Spencer’s myopic worldview, white people have been “dispossessed” by a combination of rising minority birth rates, immigration and government policies he abhors.

Fighting that alleged dispossession is the focus of the, until recently, tax-exempt organization he heads, the National Policy Institute (NPI). According to NPI’s mission statement, it aims “to elevate the consciousness of whites, ensure our biological and cultural continuity, and protect our civil rights. The institute ... will study the consequences of the ongoing influx that non-Western populations pose to our national identity.” NPI lost its tax-deductible status with the IRS for failing to file tax returns after 2012.

He is one nasty motherfucking, racist, piece of shit. . . And there is NO way I would EVER trust him under ANY circumstance.

We're supposed to believe he's had some kind of Kumbaya moment? If we believe that kind of bullshit, we deserve to lose. . . .

this time as opposed to last time, when they were a key element to Trump's rise and eventual win/theft.

Spencer and many other alt-righters now view Trump as useless and incompetent. He's not going to build the wall or give them a pure white society, and instead is just a reality show barker who creates disorder and instablility, and who caused the pandemic to spiral out of control. Even racists like a stable society and strong standing on the world stage. Supposedly Spencer is upset about the Iran stuff and broke ranks with Trump since then.

Bannon is also now viewed as a has-been and fraudster.

Overall the RW seems deflated, whereas our side has more energy this time.
