It seems Donald Trump has united one group of voters: Neo-Nazis.
Trump had me at build a wall, Andrew Anglin, editor of the white supremacist website Daily Stormer, told the Los Angeles Times. Virtually every alt-right Nazi I know is volunteering for the Trump campaign.
The comments confirm reports from throughout the campaign season that white supremacists were mobilizing for the Republican presidential candidate and excited by his platform. Trump has picked up endorsements from leaders and publications in the neo-Nazi movement since early in his candidacy. Some members of the movement have even made robocalls on his behalf.
Although Trump has disavowed their support, he hasnt always done so quickly. Hes also retweeted white supremacists and shared neo-Nazi memes.
Its been concerning that [Donald Trump] hasnt spoken out forcefully against these people, Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and national director of the Anti-Defamation League, told The Hill over the summer. It is outrageous to think that the candidate is sourcing material from some of the worst elements in our society.

namely, "why the 'alt-right' whitewash?" Why not come right out and call them neo-Nazis? Is it a fear of falling afoul of Godwin's Law, or just not wanting to admit that a significant portion of Americans would be rooting for the other side during WWII?
