With his many appeals to nativism, bigotry, and bitter discontent, Donald Trump has enthralled far-right extremists with his campaign for president. According to an investigation by Mother Jones and the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute, since Trump officially announced his bid in June 2015 he has drawn effusive praise and formal backing from some of the country's most virulent neo-Nazis, white supremacists, militia supporters, and other extremist leaders. They include the head of the American Nazi Party, three former Ku Klux Klansmen, four people involved in a recent armed standoff against federal authorities at an Oregon wildlife refuge, and at least 15 individuals affiliated with organizations described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups.

Trump has disavowed none of them.

"We have a wonderful OPPORTUNITY here folks, that may never come again," wrote Rocky J. Suhayda, the head of the American Nazi Party, last fall. "Donald Trump's campaign statements, if nothing else, have SHOWN that 'our views' are NOT so 'unpopular' as the Political Correctness crowd have told everyone they are!"

During the Republican National Convention in July, Trump endorser Andrew Anglin, who runs a neo-Nazi website called The Daily Stormer, wrote: "The biggest story in the filthy kike media has been a few lines from Melania’s speech which these Jews claim she stole from monkey Michelle."

Responding to questions about his views by email, Anglin echoed Trump's statements about the 2016 election being "rigged," warning: "If he loses, it is by fraud, and all of these people who are currently supporting him are going to be radicalized." Trump, he said, "will order a putsch."

Others among Trump's extremist endorsers have advocated for violent overthrow of the US government, expressed hatred for blacks, Latinos, Muslims, and Jews, and have threatened to "level and demolish every mosque across this country."

1. Trump validates them and reminds the world he epitomizes all they believe.

Violence, hate, exclusion.

4. Guess again!!!

The door was opened a long time ago...no one ever nailed it shut, they just put a padlock on it!

It seems that the Republican party and their nominee found the key!!!


But, just as the German people didn't see Hitler and the Nazis for what they were, the American people don't see the evil in Trump or the current incarnation of the Republican Party, a far cry form the "Party of Lincoln"!!!

3. And the average American

Will have no clue about this, his felonies, his foundation, his debt, etc. etc.

Media is in the bag for him. Stories come, stories go - bengahhhhzeee!

It's up to those of us who canvass and call to get the good that is Clinton into the hands of the people. The news - if you can call it that - refuses to report anything but negativity about her.

5. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: Beer Hall Putsch (Munich Putsch)

In case anyone was wondering what a 'putsch' is and where the term originated:

On November 8–9, 1923, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party led a coalition group in an attempted coup d'état which came to be known as the Beer Hall Putsch. They began at the Bürgerbräu Keller in the Bavarian city of Munich, aiming to seize control of the state government, march on Berlin, and overthrow the German federal government. In its place, they sought to establish a new government to oversee the creation of a unified Greater German Reich where citizenship would be based on race. Although the putsch failed—and Bavarian authorities were able to prosecute nine participants, including Hitler—the leaders ultimately redefined it as a heroic effort to save the nation and integrated it into the mythos of Hitler and the Nazis' rise to power.

He advocated for a neo-Nazi.

He and his family use Nazi propaganda and slurs to attack "undesirable" people

He and his family look and act as if like the fell right out of a "master race" propaganda poster
