I'm definitely not arguing that no one voted for him. But I do think we keep seeing examples of structural manipulations of the system to alter vote outcomes. Republicans haven't been particularly subtle about this.

And actually, my dude, there are a ton of people studying this and the altright is by no means Trump's largest individual support block. There's quite large and very thoughtful investigations with raw data available.

Again, I repeat: if you actually crunch the numbers the altright is not only a minority of Trump's supporters, but a faction that's almost vanishingly small. This sort of shows up in practical measurements of their gatherings.

Now, unopposed I think they'll grow. That's what fascism is all about at this stage and really their principle message is that they want power and they'll fix white people problems by any means necessary.

But they weren't particularly effective this last election cycle compared to the more direct manipulations we see.
