Wikipedia also calls them a neofascist group with ties to the white genocide theory.

Yeah, I was setting up the argument about people being born with penises identifying as female, but no one bit.

One Trump should thoroughly refute by any measures of democratic values and basic decency, but of course he won't.

Personally, I think Trump had no idea he was telling them to "stand by" in the way in which everyone is thinking he meant. I'm sure, he'll come out today with a 'what I meant was' statement. The problem is that he DID tell them to 'stand by' and he did it on national TV. Yes, he told them to stand down first, but he told them to 'stand by' and they're running with it.
