Is Dan Burnside A Registered National Socialist Movement
A story posted this morning by the Washington Post caught my middle. Entitled "How white supremacists carve up a tranquility Rust Belt town," it describes the resurgence of the Klan and other white supremacist groups in the little (pop. 650) town of Ulysses, PA and its surrounding Potter County since Trump was elected president.
Despite its size, Ulysses has an unquestioned national significance.
The guy who directs the state chapter of the National Socialist Motility, Daniel Burnside, lives at that place. The NSM is one of the groups that went to Charlottesville last year to defend the Amalgamated statutes. Burnside owns a Nazi memorabilia store on the due west side of the metropolis. He attributes white racist growth directly to President Trump, telling the Post reporter:
"I tin can tell yous with certainty that since November 2016, activity has doubled, whether information technology's feet on the street or money orders or people helping out."
"November 2016" is an obvious signal of reference.
The story makes for an interesting wait at the new dynamics of white supremacy within the context of Trump's apparent political endorsement of their ideology. It's probably pretty pointless to fence that Trump isn't responsible when the things that he says– repeatedly– are interpreted by racist groups to support their points of view. While everything said by right-wing extremists– or left-wing extremists, for that matter– should exist taken with a grain of common salt, information technology is interesting that a white supremacist leader feels that when information technology comes to white racists and Trump:
"You won't necessarily see MAGA hats at an NSM meeting. We're anti-Semitic. Something'south off near Trump with the Jews. That said, we're strategically aligned. When Trump says something that aligns with us — close the borders, build the wall, wait after your own — that's good: We've been saying this for 25 years, just he has made it mainstream."
Here'due south the article, with the interviews. Grade your ain opinion.
