Obviously. We'll see if they try to fix themselves if Trump loses, but I'm not holding my breath.

No that would be like a Republican asking if the Democrats are a fascist party of illegal immigrants.  It's a misleading and partisan worded question.

Well, considering that the other means of 'fixing' onself is to neuter...

What makes you justify 'white' nationalist party. Its taken a hard nationalist turn but give me examples of racial rhetoric and identity? Otherwise it just looks like more silly name calling.

   A lot of the themes last night implied a more aggressive stance toward fighting in the middle east.  I believe many who would consider themselves White Nationalists would view fighting in the middle east as some kind of Zionist neo-con misadventure that should be opposed.  I didn't hear a lot of discussion about going toward a return to pre-1965 immigration laws, birth right citizenship reform things like that, unless I missed it.

The general jingoism against non-whites living in the country. There was also Steve Kings wonderful comment. Wouldn't be surprised if a majority of Republicans agreed with that. It has become a safe space for racists these days.

Also this is a great article written by Clare Malone. The Republican party is now the party of racial resentment rather than small government.

I think they will. I could see the party becoming a little more libertarian (i.e. Rand Paul).

You won't find many people who are more disgusted with the Trumpist turn the party has taken, but having a huge percentage of your voter base be White =/= being a White nationalist party...

Yes, the GOP mostly represents white people who live in a mostly white country. So racist. Roll Eyes

The GOP is 90+% white in a 62% white country.

Have you not been paying attention at all this election season? Trump's entire platform at its core is run on racial resentment and xenophobia. It's not necessarily KKK white supremacy style racial rhetoric, but Trump's campaign is one of white sociocultural grievances over how the "other" has ruined America.

Sure, but after years of SJW writing articles calling ethnic restaurants (and other silly, harmless crap) cultural appropriation, and now NBPP shooting up cops, let's not pretend the left hasn't been pushing racial strife. White people are perfectly reasonable if they're not feeling constantly under attack by PC culture. The chickens are coming home to roost for us.

This one of many things making it worse.

For those who argue that the Republican Party is a party of "White Nationalists" one could easily argue that the Democratic Party and Left in America in general is "anti-white."

Hell even look at IceSpear's views on West Virginia(even though a guy who lives in Philadelphia really has no business trashing WV)

LOL, Whites in Philadelphia are at least as racist as Whites in WV; it's really not relevant that they're also liberal...?

LOL at the bolded. Told you guys! This is current Republican orthodoxy, more prevalent in places like Appalachia and the Deep South, but present all over the country as well.

I don't see what my views on West Virginia have to do with anything. Since when do racist hicks = all white people?

The party as a whole, probably not.  The Trump candidacy, yes.
