"Can we get a round of applause for Russia? asked Nick Fuentes, on stage last week at a white nationalist event. Amid a roar of applause for the Russian president, just days after he invaded Ukraine, many attendees responded by shouting: Putin! Putin!
It would be easy to dismiss the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) in Orlando, Florida, as a radical fringe. But speeches by two Republican members of Congress one in person, the other via video guaranteed national attention and controversy.
The backlash showed how the war in Ukraine has exposed the American far rights affinity with Putin. That affinity is complicated by the tortured relationship between Russia and former president Donald Trump, whose rise Moscow supported with a covert operation to undermine US democracy.
Fuentes, a notorious antisemite, created AFPAC to coincide with the more mainstream Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where Trump was the headline speaker last Saturday.
At AFPAC, Fuentes introduced the Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who would this week interrupt the State of the Union address, rising to yell Build the wall! as an objection to Joe Bidens immigration policy. But here she did not interrupt to object to the chanting of the Russian presidents name.

In their tiny minds, whites who support multi-cultural democracy are race traitors.

The key to white survival is to kill other whites?
Well, yeah, I guess that makes sense to white supremacists.

Those millions of republicans want an authoritarian gov't but they mistakenly think they will be the few thousand elites actually in charge.
Those millions are useful tools for those who will actually be in charge.
One poster called it a 'new social feudalism age'.
