re: #3 I Earned My Sodomy Merit Badge!

It is my personal opinion, that there has been, and will be a lot of people like this “coming out of the sheets” on the backs of the angry extremist right wing.
I know not every one on the right is a racist, but the modern right wing has many roots in the scorned, vengeful, neo confederacy. White nationalism is lurking and hiding in almost every policy and talking point they have. People like this are feeling more comfortable about choosing this ideology and they have more mainstream support right now than they have had in a long time.

QFT. They aren’t (yet) in a position where one of their own can be the GOP presidential nominee, but they are getting some real influence, and may be able to play king-maker in some elections (e.g., Iowa caucuses, some state-level primaries) and tilt GOP party platform planks in more extreme directions.

Pat Buchanan won the NH GOP primary in 1996. After that, the GOP establishment of that time shut him down. Such suppression of the neo-Nazi fringe would not be so easy today.
