Which is quite bizarre, when you think about it. In a country as systemically racist and white-supremacist as the US*, one would think such a following would be a boon, not a liability.
*According to consensus among experts specialized in this field
- DontchaKnowit 4y agoNews flash - everyone in the US hates nazis and bigots except nazis and bigots. These people live in their own echo chambers and are totally divorced from the rest of society because they are social pariahs. The more they are pushed to the fringe the more extreme their rhetoric becomes because they feel invalidated and resentful. You talking about how bizarre this is a brilliant irony. The truth is America is not systemically racist and is not white supremecist, and damn sure not in comparison with the rest of the world. Youre surprise here is due to the error of your prior assumptions, not because the fact is even remotely surprising.

Look at Trump Jr's instagram... It's just memes about culture war nonsense, including this kind of jewish crap. It is a boon to those folks. Trump won his 2016 campaign on it and came pretty close in 2020 as well.
