Yes there is. Look up 'alt right'. The Republican party is not arguing for a white ethno state.
Hell the democrats are led by Joe Biden who believes in segregation (see Biden's 'jungle' comments about school desegregation), by that standard they're more alt right than the republicans are.

- nailer 6y ago> Trump literally lost a court case From the article you just linked, Trump did not lose the court case. Biden was literally pro segregation. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-racial-jungle-quote/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-racial-jungle-quote/
- leahey 6y agoOther commenters are attempting to split hairs by pretending the consent decree the Trump Management entered in to (https://www.clearinghouse.net/chDocs/public/FH-NY-0024-0034.pdf https://www.clearinghouse.net/chDocs/public/FH-NY-0024-0034....) indicates they engaged in no wrongdoing. Reality is, they did plenty (https://vault.fbi.gov/trump-management-company https://vault.fbi.gov/trump-management-company). But, as you say, the game is to divert attention and dodge the issue -- as illustrated by the fact that you asked for a distinction between the modern GOP and alt-right and our friend here started talking about Biden.
- leahey 6y agoKind of makes the point whenever alt-right apologists need to look to comments from an opponent from 40 years ago to prove their guy, today, is aokay. Akin to how the GOP likes to point out where the Democrats were during Jim Crow. Speaks much more about where your party is in 2020 than anything else.
- nailer 6y agoNot sure who is apologizing for the alt right, I haven't seen anyone doing this within these comments or elsewhere on HN. If it's you in your personal life, then you should definitely stop supporting the alt right - racism is evil. I'm aware you think being for segregation 40 years ago is acceptable. I reiterate: racism is evil even 40 years ago. Biden's comments about poor people vs white people were literally last year. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/09/us/politics/joe-biden-poor-kids.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/09/us/politics/joe-biden-poo... Racism is evil even in 2019.
- leahey 6y agoHa. Boy, you make a lot of assumptions.
- nailer 6y agoIt seems to think you believe pointing out Biden's support of segregation is bad. That's not an assumption, that's logic. It seems you making an argument about Biden being racist a while ago means he's no longer racist. Evidence suggests the contrary. That's not an assumption, that's logic.
