Hail Trump? White nationalists already losing faith in President-elect

(CNN)The "alt-right is having a falling out -- in some ways with their President-elect, but in perhaps even more instances with each other.

And it comes on the eve of an alt-right inaugural celebration called the DeploraBall -- a play off of Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" campaign remark.

Look no further than the white nationalist who coined the term "alt-right," Richard Spencer. He's the same man who stood at a podium shortly after Donald Trump's election and, in a video that went viral, shouted "Hail Trump!" while several in the crowd celebrated the victory with a Nazi salute.

But listen to him now, you'll notice a marked shift in tone when speaking of the man who will become the 45th President of the United States.

look, Trump could give these fools everything that they want, multiply it, and offered to exterminate anyone who is not a white Anglo-Saxon or Celtic dissent, and these folks would still be furious. Do you ask why? These folks are literally addicts to rage; there are very reason for being is hate and anger, which means that like any junkie who gets a dose they become more addicted and need a bigger dose and they keep pursuing these bigger doses until their body literally stops them from taking any more. In the case of these folks it will literally be until they wind up killing themselves, or getting into that one fight too many.

While I understand that we may have to talk to some Trump voters in the hopes of winning 2018 and 2020, we have to be realistic; there is a tide of violent racism that like it or not is in the very DNA of this country, and it does not want its daily bread, it does not want respect it only understands fear and the violence that is used to numb their fear.

Andrew Anglin, the founder of the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website, said "an end to the hostility with Russia is something we did expect."
He said, "whites need to ally together against their enemies, and a big part of the reason we elected Trump is to form a good relationship with Russia.
"

Russia has a very different culture than western cultures.
It is no longer communist, but it remains imperialist. (It has been for hundreds of years)


If they want to cultivate white nations, they should work with eastern Europe, Poland, Romania etc.

Mostly through the work of SPLC.
One thing is constant - they cannot get along with themselves, let alone each other. Most of them are broken people, one way or another - child molesters, drunks, terminal narcissists, low-acheiving grifters, "Morons, psychopaths and mental defectives". I expect screams of "Betrayal!" in a week, and Trump to be "proven" to be a Jew by March, unless the RAHOWA (Racial Holy War) is on by then.
