Showing Original Post only (View all)Time To Ask: Is The Alt Right / White Nationalism Movement A Fad? [View all]
Trump's useful idiots like Mike Cernovich, Alex Jones, and Jack Posobiec are certainly making a case for it, but does the movement have any muster or will it die out? Or is this just the beginning and something much scarier will emerge?
The case for it being a fad: Fox News' sharply declining ratings and the unexpected results of the '17 special elections.
The case for it being here to stay: parents installing alt right "values" in their children, and children quoting Trump to bully their classmates. The ratings of Infowars and Breitbart.
The case for it morphing into something scarier: History. Particularly Russia and Germany. Look at the rise of Stalin, Putin, Hitler, and every other World War 2 era dictator. It may take a generation or two but don't think it can't happen here.
