We often brush it off as mental illness - things like Oak Creek Wisconsin - and these people are certainly tied to white supremacy, have written manifestos. We've got a major problem in not calling that terrorism.

He has given more legitimacy to white supremacy and even to neo-fascist groups, and he's created a pervasive atmosphere that's more vague but still significant. I don't believe that he can in his own way destroy the country, just as he can't eliminate climate awareness, but he can go a long way in bringing - well, in stimulating what has always been a potential.

  • 30 years ago in white supremacy, we had a strategy called leaderless resistance. The concept was: stop shaving our heads, stop getting tattoos and instead try to blend in as much as possible. It was a really concerted effort to try and tone down the rhetoric and make it a little more palatable to the mainstream. And it certainly has penetrated the mainstream now.
