It did. White supremacy is alive and well in the US. Yes it always existed, but these days Nazis sympathisers can show their allegiance in public. That wasn't the case 20-30 years ago.

I used to think it was better when people are open about ego they are, and it may be; but since campaign cycle of 2015, it seems very much worse.

Alive yes.

Well? Fuck no lol. What is your definition of well? You specified the US. What policy,government institutions, organisations,condone white surpremacy? The closest thing you have that promotes white supremacy is critical race theory an idea that white people are inherently superior thus the need to uplift other races. A pretty awful thing to be sure but that is being met with widespread condemnation and active suppression. So another loss for WS.

As for showing their allegiance uh yeah thats always been a thing. You can go back ever further then 30 years when America had an actual nazi party. They didnt get very far cause ya know nazi's

You're proving the point. You're falling for the far right propaganda.

You probably don't even know what critical race theory consists of at all, do you?

Right, I was like “what? Maybe this person doesn’t know what crt is, or misinterpreted what’s s/he’s reading?”
