1. “ The election of Donald Trump
to the presidency sparked a wave of celebrations among white
supremacists throughout the United States – and in vast swaths of
online communities of the so-called “alt-right”.
Support from these groups only solidified when President-elect Trump named Steve Bannon as
his chief strategist and senior counsel. Bannon is most notable for his time as
executive chairman of Breitbart, a hard-right conservative news site
that routinely disparages
Muslims, people of colour, women, immigrants, and the LGBTQ community.
Bannon has referred to the site as a “platform for the
alt-right” in an interview with Mother Jones in August. Democratic
nominee Hillary Clinton targeted the
alt-right in a speech that month, accusing Mr Trump of “taking hate groups
mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican party”.
Now the “alt-right” has its own representative at the helm of
the 45th US presidency.
“Alt-right” is a term coined by National Policy Institute
president Richard Spencer in 2008. Spencer is an outspoken support for making
the US an all white ethno-state. But he hopes to bring white supremacy to
mainstream politics – something a Trump win [could achieve.

2. White supremacists
have been filmed performing Hitler salutes and shouting “hail Trump!” during a
speech by a leading member of the “alt-right” movement.
Richard B Spencer, president of the
far-right National Policy Institute,
made numerous allusions to Nazi ideology
during his half-hour speech at a conference in Washington on Saturday[immediately after the Trump
victory was announced]
“Hail Trump! Hail our people! Hail victory!” he shouted as
members of the audience leapt to their feet applauding, with several making
prolonged Hitler salutes.
“No one will honour us for losing gracefully, no one mourns the
great crimes committed against us. For us it is conquer or die.”
Mr Spencer went on to attack the “mainstream media” for its
treatment Donald Trump.”

- He used the slur “Lügenpresse”,
meaning “lying press in German”, which was originally employed by Nazis
and is gaining currency once again among the German far-right to insult
reporting on the refugee crisis.
It was also heard being
shouted at Trump rallies, where the Republican candidate frequently attacked
the press, and has become a hashtag popular among some of his supporters on
social media.
“The press has clearly decided to double down and wage war
against the legitimacy of Trump and the
continued existence of white America,” said Mr Spencer to more cheers. “But they are really opening up the door for
us.”
The white nationalist, who claims he coined the term
“alt-right”, also described journalists as “soulless Golem” – supernatural
creates from Jewish folklore – “animated by some dark power”.
Richard
B Spencer also called for a 50-year freeze on immigration
Footage broadcast by The Atlantic as part of an upcoming documentary on Mr
Spencer showed his followers repeatedly performing Hitler salutes during the
tirade, where he claimed America was a
“white country [that] belongs to us”.
“To be white is to be a
striver, a crusader, an explorer and a conqueror,” he continued.
“We don’t exploit other
groups, we don’t gain anything from their presence. They need us and not the
other way around.
the “Within the very
blood in our veins as children of the sun lies the potential for greatness.
That is great struggle we’re called to.
“We’re not meant to live
in shame and weakness and disgrace. We were not meant to beg for moral
validation from some of the most despicable creatures to ever populate the
planet.”
The National Policy Institute’s website could not be reached on
Tuesday but an archived version showed its homepage describing the organisation
as “dedicated to the heritage, identity,
and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the
world”. “
