Call me crazy but if any political figure believes deep down that America would be better off as a white ethnostate or whatever, I'd prefer they just openly campaign for that rather than cloak it in "restoring our glorious founding heritage" and other code words like this. 1/ 
Like if you ask a normal person "Do you want a White Nationalist candidate on the debate stage?" they'll of course say no. But I'd prefer that to what we have now - people who believe the EXACT same thing but know to dress it up in euphemisms about our "values" etc. 2/
If that's our choice, then I'd prefer to just openly have that debate, rather than have to spend 95% of the discussion having to pierce their camouflage. I think it's the camouflage that gives mainstream voters enough of a fig leaf to pull the lever. 3/
"We only worry about illegal immigrants!" But Trump cut legal immigration, too. "Of course, because we worry about foreigners taking jobs!" But you're not asking for a wall at the Canadian border. "We're only worried about crime!" But you're cutting education. Just say it! 4/
There are tens of millions of Americans who 1) believe the USA would be better off without "those" people and 2) would never ever say that out loud or even to themselves. It's always cloaked under "concerns" about "inner city crime" etc. I'd prefer to have it out in the open.
