Never thought I's see this in modern US.
Election 2018 Is Off to the Racists
Across the US, white nationalists and their sympathizers are running for office—and they don’t need to win to be dangerous.
“Jews…commit a disproportionate number of mass shootings,” Wisconsin Republican congressional candidate Paul Nehlen lied on Facebook recently. Earlier, he had tweeted: “Poop, incest, and pedophilia. Why are those common themes repeated so often with Jews?” Another GOP House hopeful, Pennsylvania’s Sean Donahue, recently told me, “The United States was intended to be white…. I don’t see why we had to have the Fair Housing Act.”
Welcome to Trump’s America, where a rash of white nationalists are running for office. Depending on your definition, anywhere from nine and 17 white supremacists and far-right militia leaders are currently running for House and Senate seats, governorships, and state legislatures.

Racial supremecists come in all shapes and forms. Black Lives Matter and La Raza come to mind as well as the White Supremecists you refer. At the same time, I see more and more interracial families of which I am a part.
