The staying power of Donald Trumps presidential candidacy has surprised and unsettled people across the political spectrum. Many voters who are angry about the loss of middle-class jobs and frustrated with our broken politics have rallied to Trumps outsider campaign.
Theres a darker side to Trumps campaign that should disturb anyone thinking about supporting him: Its electrifying and energizing the white supremacist movement.
You cant help who admires you, says Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center. But when white supremacists start endorsing you for president, you ought to start asking why.

(22,056 posts)Mr. Trump's campaign has been outside the ropes since he announced his candidacy. Mr. Montgomery's article, while well-written and documented, seems a little behind what we've all observed and commented on.
Nonetheless, thanks for posting the link, LuckyThe Dog.

(3,263 posts)These White power trumpers are in such a fucking entitled state of mind I don't care what their economic story is . Not a tear or excuse for these "special frustrated "white supremacist
Many people are in frustrating situations with out resorting to hate and talk of future violence, religious segregation,possibly genocide
the answe is not random hate but history shows us groups on the edge of losing the majority power use hate and violence to soothe themselves . They don't play well with others and want all the toys on the playground even if some others brought some of the toys they don't believe it,all the toys are theirs and because of them.
Wish they would just suck on their thumbs or guns and leave the rest of America alone as we try to go forward in to the future
