WHITE NATIONALIST LEADER TURNS ON TRUMP, WARNS THAT ALT-RIGHT WON'T BE 'RETARDED COUSIN' OF MAINSTREAM CONSERVATIVES

BY MICHAEL EDISON HAYDEN ON 12/22/17 AT 8:00 AM

The “alt-right” movement, which calls for limited immigration, mass deportations and a new state populated only by whites, played a role in helping Donald Trump win the White House. Today, some members of the movement are at a crossroads with the president, claiming he has abandoned their cause.

“I believe the radical energies and deep yearning for change that flowed into the Trump campaign in 2015 and 2016 are now receding with the tide,” Brad Griffin, a self-described Southern Nationalist, wrote on his blog, Occidental Dissent. “I’m confident the Democrats will come roaring back in the 2018 midterms. I don’t want to be associated with ‘MAGA’ because our policies were discarded by the Trump administration.”

Griffin, who helped organize a so-called White Lives Matter rally in Tennessee in October and publishes under the pseudonym Hunter Wallace, has earned a reputation for being among the more cogent and discerning commentators in the white nationalist community. He’s also among the bluntest when describing the movement’s shortcomings. Among his gripes with the president, Griffin mentioned in his post the airstrike on Syria in April, the attempt to undo health care reform, the tax reform effort and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s promises to make a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The “Trump administration has chosen the Republican establishment,” Griffin argued. He added: “In 2017, the Trump administration didn’t want anything to do with us and dropped us like a hot potato after the election.”

In his post, Griffin reminded readers of a warning he gave prior to Trump taking power, suggesting that the alt-right movement would not be content to be “locked in the basement” of mainstream conservatism and “treated like a retarded cousin for the next four years.” Griffin suggested that this vision was fulfilled in Charlottesville, Virginia in August, when large numbers of white nationalists and neo-Nazis assembled before the rally devolved into violence. The alt-right has struggled to mobilize in public following Charlottesville, however, and Griffin suggested that people will see less “activism” from the alt-right in 2018.

1. Too late!

[Achilleaze]

29. So they think of themselves as "retarded republican cousins"

But they don't want anyone else to think of them that way.

[Me.]

2. When Even The Alt Right Is Turning Against You

[safeinOhio]

3. You are not retarded

You are special

[jalan48]

4. Making Trump the new mainstream and old Republicans the new Democrats.

[MGKrebs]

26. Yup.

Perhaps the most fascinating billboard I ever saw just said, in big letters: Don't trust the liberal media". The psychology involved in that phrase is really subtle and probably powerful.
This has a similar effect.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Yes! Trump is not extreme enough for them

the best headlines write themselves

[Initech]

8. They're waiting for the second coming of Hitler.

I say, keep waiting assholes!

[mountain grammy]

6. Oh ok.. Im sure donnie and the GOP will get right on that.

[PatSeg]

7. Get in line Sweetie

Trump has abandoned pretty much all his supporters, except for the ones with the big bucks. Too bad, so sad, you've all been had.

[The Mouth]

10. He abandoned *them*

but we are still witnessing one of the largest cases of Stockholm Syndrome ever...


This article is from a Reich wing mag, obviously no agreement with the author nor their thesis is implied(!), but it *IS* a good explication of why one segment still supports Cheeto Benito.... Apologies for any vomit anyone has to wipe off their screens...

[PatSeg]

15. Yes

And the End Times is a very real event for evangelicals. I'm sure many don't care all that much for Trump as a person, but they see him as the one who will bring about The Rapture. Many are not content to just prayerfully sit back and wait for it, they are doing everything they can to make it happen. Apparently god can't manage the task on his own.

[The Mouth]

16. That's why Pence scares me way more

Trump is bad enough, but we've had malignant narcissists before. I honestly don't think he'd start a full on nuclear war on purpose for bringing on the end times, he has it too good, jets, wife, money, fame... Pence, on the other hand would view himself as doing God's work in immanentizing the eschaton

[PatSeg]

22. Oh yes, that's right

Pence is a true-believer and can justify compromising his values when it is for god's work. If he believes that the End Times are at hand, he probably wants to be an instrument of the almighty.

Trump on the other hand doesn't believe in much of anything. All that he does is for money and adulation, not to mention revenge. He uses evangelicals' beliefs to his own benefit, though he could be unwittingly fulfilling their prophecy.

9. Awww... poor little snowflake SJW!

Did you have your little racist feelings hurt?

[CanonRay]

11. What a nice description of your group!

Mind if I use that?

[paleotn]

12. Well, that's exactly what you are..

...the moronic wing. But take comfort in the fact that you represent a wing of conservo-nut-ism every Rethuglican would love to belong to publicly if it were...you know... socially acceptable in polite company. Rest assured that trash is at the heart of every Rethuglican, whether they admit it or not.

[muntrv]

13. You're not retarded, Brad Griffin, you're remedial.

[pandr32]

14. So here's the truth

You were used. Get over it and back to the basement you go, or you could change your ways and attitudes and join your diverse country by letting go of the idea that you are more special than everybody else. We already have the 1% locking that down.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. If they did abandon him

that will help provide an opening for some more Democratic Congressional pickups.

[Bradical79]

18. Trump didn't abandon them

Some of them are just so dumb that even Donald Trump is too subtle in his white supremecist rhetoric and overtures for them to understand. He downplayed and tried to redirect the Neo-Nazis violence in Charlottesville, but even Donald Trump isn't stupid enough to go full explicit Nazi in public. They're his favorite people as long as they don't bring extra heat down on him.

[Ccarmona]

19. Donnie Only Cares About Donnie

It’s a tough lesson for these shit-heels to learn, but they’re catching on quickly.

[Corgigal]

20. You were used by a old fat white guy (maybe rich or poor)

sorry you couldn't see that coming.

Everyone else did.

[RainCaster]

21. Truth: the alt-right is Red

They were played. They are Putin's bitch.

[marble falls]

23. They were gamed and now who can they possibly support with any chances with the main stream?

[crowman2016]

24. This whole alt-right movement will turn on each other after the 2018 election.

And will implode once Drumpf goes to prison.

[meow2u3]

25. Too late now, pal

The "alt-right" is already the stupid, excessively vicious stepbrother of mainstream repukes, most of whom are closet neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

[Blue_Tires]

27. Like Bannon supposedly turning against Donnie, I don't believe this shit one bit...

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

28. How do I put this?

Hmmmmm. I've got it! Fuck the Alt-Right!!! Tine for the grownups to take over and they can go back under the rocks or into the sewers they came from........
