Starting with Trump's failure to definitively repudiate the Proud Boys, I make the case Trump merely has a strategic, mutually beneficial, and politically expeditious relationship with White Nationalists. This fine distinction matters because it allows us to remember that Trump's eventual departure from the Executive Office will not mean the eradication of White nationalism; makes urgent the needs to develop a sustained challenge to White Nationalism long after Trump's departure; and reminds us that Trump has not offered a brighter future for poor Whites. The need for an anti-capitalist anti-racism remains urgent and we cannot be deluded into believing we have vanquished White nationalism by simply ridding ourselves of Trump.
