OAKTON, Va. Jared Taylor hits play, and the first Donald Trump ad of the general election unfolds across his breakfast table. Syrian refugees streaming across a border. Hordes of immigrants, crowded onto trains.
Donald Trumps America is secure, rumbles a narrator. Terrorists and dangerous criminals kept out. The border, secure; our families, safe.
Taylor, one of Americas foremost racialists, is impressed and relieved. Thats a powerful appeal, he said. If he can just stick to that, he is in very good shape.
From his Fairfax County home, Taylor has edited the white nationalist magazine American Renaissance and organized racialist conferences under the AmRen banner. He said that Trump should concentrate on his natural constituency, which is white people, suggesting that winning 65 percent of the white vote would overwhelm any Democratic gains with minorities.
When Trump made Breitbart News CEO Steve Bannon his campaigns chief executive last week, Taylor found reasons to celebrate. It was the latest sign for white nationalists, once dismissed as fringe, that their worldview was gaining popularity and that the old Republican Party was coming to an end.

(9,897 posts)The man is in this election to burnish his 'brand' with the crazies and to consolidate media power under his umbrella for the white power cretins, the Briebart lunatics, the Freepers and PrisonPlanet Jonesers...he sees an opportunity to kill of the GOP AND Fox News with Ailes in tow to seek his own personal vengeance.
Fuck the lot of them.

(17,390 posts)Given Trump's success with his overt racist messages, how can future Republicans resist the temptation to go over racist in the primaries, then just try to be a little less crazy in the general election.
