It never went anywhere. It's always been simmering just beneath the surface. It's not just Trump. It's everyday citizens refusing to stand up for marginalized communities, a police force and a political system that has been infiltrated by white supremacist organizations.

could also be that people like JAKE TAPPER coddle and normalize fash adjncts like andy ngo

Unfortunately, he is only making it "socially acceptable" to be a white supremacist. He is not causing it. It started growing under our first non-white president, and will continue to grow until we have a president who calls it out and starts a campaign against it.

Doesn't that reverse cause and effect? He is the face of white supremacy.

You are so much smarter than this @rezaaslan . While the surge in domestic terrorist from white supremacist can be attributed to The current president being in office, it in no way just now "showing its face" - it has always been here

You are wrong. The President is not a racist, nor a white supremacist, and neither are the majority of his base, like me.

Or, he's the President BECAUSE white supremacy is on the rise. Actually I don't even think it's particularly on the rise, it's just that the world is becoming more polarised and group think is causing many factions of society to feel legitimised in their ideologies.

hmmm ... you *might* be on to something

The chicken or the egg? Both white.

Just wanna say as a lifelong religion nerd your show was awesome, I miss it every day, you got robbed.

So what are you ????

Reza, I see your point, but, hear me out, maybe it's because the President is a white supremacist?

You are such a creative thinker! Where have you been all my life @rezaaslan ???

All you are is a spitball.

So say the Any-Supremacy-But-White crowd. And rumor has it that some of you are even educated. Just call it white supremacy and people won't see the vile racist hatred of the tan brigade.

all the violence is from white liberals and white supremacists are almost nonexistent. Cute propaganda though #idiot
