I never said it wasn't real, but I'll contest the "very" as far as you mean it.

News flash: you're never going to win everyone. There will always be some racists, hopefully few and fringe and impotent but nevertheless present. For the most part, this is the status of the contemporary white supremacist: incapable of even holding down a website domain name. Arguably, a year ago they were even less threatening, as in: not even worth denying a domain to.

This is the boogieman of social justice. Real? Sure. Very? Eh... not really.

As I explained earlier, the prominence of these scant racists have been exaggerated as part of the left-identitarian Fauxluminati Conspiracy Theory, to justify racism against white people, which has in turn, predictably, made this group of white supremacists stronger. I've previously detailed how "reverse racism" feeds the racist narrative and escalates tensions, rather than solving anything. And so it has been. Nathan Spencer now gets a media spotlight and neo-nazis have overrun the previously ancap-dominated /pol/. Although still drastically outnumbered by anti-white racists, white supremacists have risen above "albino unicorn" status. Great job, idiots.

Reverse racism fights fire with fire, and you needn't be a genius to realize the predictable result is a larger fire. The solution is not racism, but a principled stance against racism in any form. The best way to fight a fire is to starve it of the oxygen it needs to sustain itself. But that route demands enough patience not to fan the flames.

Donald Trump isn't a white nationalist. White nationalists generally voted Trump, but not because they liked him; they think he's a cuck. (Same deal with Bannon.)

Donald Trump isn't hyper-partisan. His inaugural address was explicitly bipartisan, he's not particularly shy about working with Democratic leadership, and he often attacks those within his own party. (Same deal with Bannon.)

These are the sorts of things that are obvious if you actually listen to what Trump administration officials say, and actually listen to what white nationalists say.

That's completely irrational. We know these people are liars and bullshitters. Trump literally doesn't care if what he says is true as long as it's good for Trump. His mouthpieces lie constantly. What sort of fool would trust what these people say?

Look at their actions. Those are what matter. The actions of these people are absolutely reprehensible.

The "action" of government tends to be words. But go ahead, actually read the Trump immigration EOs, etc. Still nothing white nationalist or hyper-partisan.
