The KKK finally found the political member to try and be relevant/powerful again.

Almost at precisely the same time the rest of the world realised he was even more irrelevant than they thought.

Coincidence?

 

[ampere]

Stuff like this is why it's important for educated people to vote! I'm doing my best to get my 19 year old brother to vote, though he is pretty frustrated by politics

 

[D i Z]

I ain't worrying, trump will just win nom at absolute best.

It ain't about him winning, although that is one of the worst case scenarios. The people gathering and organizing around his racist rhetoric are what we'll be left to deal with.

Not to sound like I'm rejecting the notion of the article but I'm fairly certain Stormfront receives similar traffic surges during every US election season. I remember them making similar statements about their server capacity during the 2008 election.

Yeah. That had nothing at all to do with the then potential of a black man taking the white house.

Your use of pronouns is confusing. Who is irrelevant? Trump?

 

[Enzom21]

But I've been told Trump and his followers weren't racists and that the right wing rhetoric has no effect on their base.
Let's not pretend like these people weren't regular old GOPers before Trump allowed them to stop using dog whistles and pretending they weren't racists.

 

[JustenP88]

Yayyyy more dank Trump memes for us! This has no effect on anything at all! Bigotry is hilarious!

Exactly. Trump didn't go around infecting people like Mr. Smith in The Matrix. The fact is that a large, a very large percentage of the GOP just hold reprehensible beliefs and are very proud of them.

i am going to keep it 100, if you are a minority, especially any shade of brown in America, you probably grew up knowing under the thin coat of paint America has a deep layer of fuck shit going on.

After 2008 the game changed so that the paint is gone and the they buffing the fuck shit to a fine shade of green and no fucks given.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Where's that dude around here who always calls him Mr. Trump

 

[radios shipping overview]

Where's that dude around here who always calls him Mr. Trump

I swear, every favorable comment I've seen toward him on news articles starts by calling him Mr. Trump. It's like you don't even need to read the rest of the post.

 

[ANDS]

If Trump's comments on immigration are the tipping point we weren't on very solid ground to begin with.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

“He’s certainly creating a movement that will continue independently of him even if he does fold at some point.”

 

[Johndoey]

We told you people this would happen y'all thought this shit was funny. Have a look at the dude pumping up the racists.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Black of Stormfront said Trump's rhetoric has been a boon to white nationalists. “He has sparked an insurgency and I don’t think it’s going to go away,” he told POLITICO of Trump.

Conservatism is the insurgency. Trump is just a conservative who is emboldening hate groups and causing them to grow in numbers.

[What did he mean by this?]

Haha guys wouldnt it be so funny if Trump wins, like I kind of want him to win just to see what crazy stuff happens

Haha I dont vote anyway because I would feel like a fraud to vote for someone I havent met in real life but I just think Trump is so entertaining to watch you know?

/s

 

[Plywood]

“Demoralization has been the biggest enemy and Trump is changing all that,” said Stormfront founder Don Black

This is kind of an amazing quote, this hate group was down about people not being shitty. Wow.

That's why how the GOP operates is so dangerous. Not only do they bolster those who agree with their terrible social views, but it disillusions and frustrates others that see all this going on and just assume the government is stupid and useless, both parties are the same, etc.

Remember, the less people that vote, the more it helps Republicans.

 

[Furyous]

This is what people are voting for when they say they'll go Trump.

There's no grabbing of the popcorn, no laughs to be had. It's dark, violent days ahead for minorities.

What's white nationalism?

Yeah, I managed to catch this in the morning. Crazy stuff. No one really called it out, and it was later referred to as passionate.

Which one?

 

[Astral Dog]

Welp, if he wins the election, I'm out. I will gladly give up my American citizenship. I'm not living in the US 4 years with that man in power. Fuck that.

People say this, but its scary how much Donald Trump has that control over peoples minds, (except muslims of course.)

 

[Cidd]

I'm thinking of heading to Canada, I'm not even kidding..

Almost all of them sound like cult members. And several of them seem to be under the mistaken assumption that the only terrorism in the US comes from Muslims.

Which one?

The one who virtually screams about Donald Trump being the only political figure she trusts.
"Susan"

 

[Gamerloid]

Like I said before, this candidacy was funny in the beginning, but it's been overstayed ora welcome. Freaking heck America. We have a lot of progress to make.

“He’s certainly creating a movement that will continue independently of him even if he does fold at some point.”

....Fuck.

 

[dabig2]

Yeah, but the Supreme Court said racism was totally not a big deal anymore.

Honestly, I've been going back and forth on this, but maybe it's for the better to have all that trash visibly out in the open. Maybe we can then admit that we still have a legitimate problem when it comes to racism.

 

[Bloomers]

....Fuck.

Trump has begun to relegitimize the nasty viewpoints American media & govt has been trying to surpress for nearly half a century. With social media, these movements easily have the means to make waves again.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

fucking gross.

if i had my way id just fucking arrest them all, fucking cockroaches. Trump included.

 

[Lego Boss]

Always bet on (Don) Black.

FoxNews and right wing talk radio hasnt been trying to repress anything of the sort. Theyve spent a decade telling conservative Whites they are under siege from black urban crime, blacks getting free handouts and affirmative action, Hispanics wanting to claim American territory for Mexico and pouring over the borders illegally to steal jobs, Muslims who want to blow everyone up or impose Sharia law, gay rights activists who want to "violate" the sanctity of marriage, secular education ramming anti-Biblical science down childrens' throats, big government wanting tighter firearm regulation , and pro choice advocacy killin babies.
Theyve whipped people into a frenzy.

I doubt any US citizens actually leave the country due to a Trump election but if I were to go somewhere, it would have to be either the UK, Zambia, or Canada. Canada is too damn cold though.

My boss is a naturalized citizen and I believe him when he says he's leaving if Trump gets elected. He doesn't think that his (Muslim) family will be safe.

That's where the conversation should be. This is what happens when conservative ideals are mainstream.

 

[minor effort]

I admit I felt like the Trump train was amusing and entertaining for a while. Now I feel like I was part of the problem. This isn't funny anymore and I regret thinking it was.

Islamophobia and racism is worsening and Trump is actively encouraging its worsening. No matter what his chances of reaching the White House realistically are, this is legitimizing and mainstreaming what should be extreme fringe views.

 

[anotherVegan]

Trump is doing what no candidate has done before

exposing the heart of the modern day republican party.

Once it's exposed enough we can stab it, right?

 

[Hubbl3]

I would be interested to know what the Nation of Islam/New Black Panther Party's recruitment has been like due to Trump and the multiple police incidents.

I would assume their numbers would have also grown ad a result of his rhetoric.

Ah I see your points. I really don't now what to say in that case

...other than "This shit's gonna suck" that is
