So you are asking, why after the media has buried Trump's anti-bigot statements and overplayed his ambiguous statements are there not more widely published accounts from racists decrying him?
No, you misunderstand me. I'm asking if there are any such published articles decrying Trump, not whether they are widely published or not. And if not, why aren't there any such articles.
First of all, racists are deficient thinkers prone to internalize nonsensical and unproven beliefs and ignore contrary evidence. Our media seems to have adopted this trait. in this case, it means they may very well believe Trump is on their side cause they read it in the media. It's still a ridiculous assertion, that the lack of media coverage of the such position pieces should be considered some kind of warped proof that Trump supports them.
First, why do you believe that white nationalists give any credence to the MSM? They are some of the first ones to call them liars and spreaders of "fake news." I would think any assertion by the MSM would be challenged and checked by white nationalists.
Second, why would you disbelieve them? If the MSM says that Trump supports white nationalists, and white nationalists (who hate the MSM and do not support them in any way) say he supports them, and do not denounce him (as they do the MSM and everyone else who they fell is their "enemy"), isn't this an indication that they may be both right? When two disparate sources come to the same conclusion, doesn't that indicate to you that they may both be on the right track?
Second, I have no belief that you've spent any time looking into what racists are actually saying. I know I haven't. Where exactly would this condemnation come from and who would find it? The media's incentives are flat out to find and publish that which supports the story they want to tell.
No, I am not familiar with what the racists are saying. Which is why I'm asking if there are such articles condemning Trump.
And while "the media's incentives are flat out to find and publish that which supports the story they want to tell," remember that we don't have just one media in this country. There is the entire Right Wing media, that wants to contradict what the Left Wing media says. Don't you think your sources that remind you of Trump's anti-racist statements would find it helps to support the story they want to tell to point out the hatred white supremacists have for Trump?
Third, we have a binary system. No one supports their positions on the issues they care about, because neither party supports racism. They still are going to vote for someone, and in fact, virtually all the research shows the support of actual white racists in about equal in each of the parties.
Could you link to some of this research? I haven't heard of this, and I am curious about it.
However, as The Drake quotes, David Duke's criticism of Trump is tepid at best, and rather supportive all-in-all. He certainly feels that he could talk to Trump and make an ally of him.
Compare it to his criticisms of the Left and (current) Democratic politicians. Do you think he was so nice when talking about Obama, or Hillary? Why does Obama's and Hillary's condemnations rankle white supremacists so much more than Trump's?
You discount reports of Trump being friendly toward white supremacists in the media because you believe it fits the media's narrative, and that the media is suppressing contradictory information. But why would white supremacists tell the same story? Why do they feel Trump is friendly towards them, if this friendliness is not real? You think they don't recognize their friends from their enemies?
