Don Black, former KKK Grand Dragon and founder of Stormfront, a white-supremacist and neo-Nazi Internet forum, "Trump resonates with many of our people, of course — and with white, middle America, which has been seething for many years now about the immigration issue.

I don't know how far he'll go, and I don't know, if he were elected, if he really would follow through on his promise. But he's definitely been a major boost for us."

Yeah, timeline fits, he is a racist. I wish the MSM would put this all together, but they are all in it for the ratings, they don't care.

I'm just so...surprised
I mean, how did we get here?
Who would have thought...?
In 2017...
When did things get so bad?
He defended Nazis? Where did that come from?


GREAT WORK, OP. This will be getting plenty of use from me. Should start with his first known white-supremacist association: his damn daddy.
 

Random Human

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Yeah, timeline fits, he is a racist. I wish the MSM would put this all together, but they are all in it for the ratings, they don't care.

I mean, Clinton basically laid it all out in that great speech she made and the media either ignored it or asked why she was giving such a speech.

The media should be ashamed of how they handled that.

Didn't it all start with the Central Park Five case in 1989? It should have been clear to anyone where he stood and still stands after his actions.

Brilliant work, OP. Thanks for this.

Amazing how over a year ago he claimed he didn't know what a white supremacist/nationalist is & now claims he doesn't know what the alt-right means. Fucking piece of shit.

Lots of grammar errors that I need to fix, I was in a rush.

Feel free to post any additional instances with dates and credible sources and I will add it to the list sometime this weekend.

Central Park 5 issue is racist but not white nationalist related. I think it might be better to keep the focus of the list tight if possible.

Prominent white-nationalists invoking Trump are the best examples because Trump's blatant ambiguity gas no effect in it.

It's like the whole Russia thing, he just cannot distance himself. And we knew he leaned this way on the campaign trail. But what's so odd is he doubles down when called out instead of deflecting. It's like the opposite of of rational, which is really scary.

Want to use this information effectively?

Find the endorsements and positive reactions of Donald Trump by your local GOP representatives and organizations, insert them into the timeline with sources, print it out, mail it to them with a letter.
 

Joe

Thanks.

I think I cleaned up all the dates and grammar issues.

I'm going to add more dates, there's a lot of rally stuff I know I'm missing, but I won't have time until this weekend.

Added a few dates to the timeline. August 30, 2015, and August 31, 2016 were especially crazy.

Edit: Nevermind, I got it.

OP where's the ASSOCIATION?

The Nazis still have to vote for someone you know, BUT I still don't see any association withTrump.

Am I missing something?

What does this have to do with anything, just a bunch of Nazis endorsing Trump policies. Where's the ASSOCIATION?

OP where's the ASSOCIATION?

The Nazis still have to vote for someone you know, BUT I still don't see any association withTrump.

Am I missing something?

Oh really?

I was expecting something perhaps like this:

And since when has the seat of the presidency become a barometer for morality?

Joke posts or stupid fucking idiot? Or both?
