THE CRUX OF IT: They believe in extremism in defense of their liberty and are close to the seat of power.
A baleful gathering took place involving a group of people being reffered to as the “alt right”.
Richard B. Spencer is said to be the leader of this so-called movement.
Mr. Spencer, who said he had coined the term, defined the alt-right as a movement with white identity as its core idea.
REJECT THAT TERM. CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE.
THESE PEOPLE ARE NEO-NAZIS.
The meeting was of White Nationalists and it took place Saturday the 19th in Washington, not far from the White House.
This took place in a federal building named after Ronald Reagan and consisted of 11 hours of speeches and panels.
The final speaker of the night, Richard B. Spencer quoted Nazi propaganda in the original German. America, he said, belonged to white people, a race of conquerors and creators who had been marginalized but now, in the era of President-elect Donald J. Trump, were “awakening to their own identity.” It is reported that his words were met with Nazi salutes and someone shouted “Heil the people! Heil victory,” the room shouted it back.
“America was, until this last generation, a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity,” Mr. Spencer thundered. “It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us.” “To be white is to be a creator, an explorer, a conqueror,” he said.
The ties between The Drumpf and this misguided group are becoming more and more clear as time goes by and will only grow stronger over the next four years.
“I think we can be the ones out in front, thinking about those things he hasn’t quite grasped yet, who are putting forward policies,” Mr. Spencer said, that “have a realistic chance of being implemented.”
Even if the incoming administration is only partially complicit, their tacit acceptance could prove destructive.
Appointments and potential power brokers such as Sessions, Juliani, Bannon, Priebus, Christie, and Flynn all have ties to questionable public policy and historical racist rhetoric.
So, as Drumpf continues to place members of this movement and sympathizers to it into positions of influence, couldn’t it be possible that the reins may be seized at some point by a restless and insurgent group of fantasists?
