...and Getting Booed Out of Restaurants
Schadenfreude is a German word meaning joy from sorrow usually used in the context of enjoying someone elses pain and a New York Times article about alt-right neo-Nazi organizer Richard Spencer has provided a generous serving of schadenfreude for the holiday weekend, describing a long list of misfortunes hes experienced lately:
Leaders in Whitefish [Montana] say Mr. Spencer, who once ran his National Policy Institute from his mothers $3 million summer house here, is now an outcast in this resort town in the Rocky Mountains, unable to get a table at many of its restaurants. His organization has dissolved. Meanwhile, his wife has divorced him, and he is facing trial next month in Charlottesville, Va., over his role in the deadly 2017 neo-Nazi march there, but says he cannot afford a lawyer.

Stephen Millers Affinity for White Nationalism Revealed in Leaked Emails
SPLC.org, 12 November 2019
In this article
In the run-up to the 2016 election, White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller promoted white nationalist literature, pushed racist immigration stories and obsessed over the loss of Confederate symbols after Dylann Roofs murderous rampage, according to leaked emails reviewed by Hatewatch.
The emails, which Miller sent to the conservative website Breitbart News in 2015 and 2016, showcase the extremist, anti-immigrant ideology that undergirds the policies he has helped create as an architect of Donald Trumps presidency. These policies include reportedly setting arrest quotas for undocumented immigrants, an executive order effectively banning immigration from five Muslim-majority countries and a policy of family separation at refugee resettlement facilities that the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General said is causing intense trauma in children.

The sad thing is that Spencer's Alt-Right used to be an alternative to the American political right and was arguably a definably separate basket of deplorables.
After 4 years of Trump, it has become the American political right.
Spencer might be broke. But he succeeded in transforming the American political landscape in his image.
