Stop waiting for the ‘real Nazis’ to show up. They’re here. White supremacy today doesn’t look like the organised party system of the 20th century, because it doesn’t need to. This is gig-economy fascism. Entrepreneurial white supremacy. Serving the interests of tyrants by proxy.
This is important. Trump doesn’t need to personally fund white supremacist organisations to benefit from what they do. Why would he? All he or any despot needs to do is be as relaxed about them as he clearly is. To not explicitly condemn. They’ll do the rest of the work for him.
Trump and his ilk keep white supremacists at arms length, refusing to declare them a threat, mouthing disingenuous sorrow when they commit acts of mass violence, then turning around and repeating their rhetoric. They’ll have plausible deniability for as long as they need it.
