It's exposing something that we've always suspected: The natural alliance between right wing political ideology and white nationalism.
The GOPrs can deny what's all too obvious all they want, they can even half-heartedly refute the support of both the klan and neo-nazis while welcoming their votes.
There's even a certain amount of cognitive dissonance on the part of long term Republican backers about the underlying ideological framework of their own political ideology. Others have seen it for what it truly is and they're rightly appalled by it.
But what we're seeing in this election is the culmination of almost forty years of pro-white, anti-black and brown rhetoric, dog-whistling and xenophobia. These are people who are tired of hiding under rocks, when they talk about an end to "political correctness."
They want to embrace white supremacy out in the open, because they believe in America as a white centered, white identified and white controlled nation.
This is right wing nationalism at its purest. As it has also been shown to be in countries like France, England and Germany. Could Farage himself standing next to Trump in Mississippi not make it even plainer?
Whether they like it or not, the Republicans have morphed into a natural state of white nationalism. They're about a heartbeat away from going fully fascist. All they need is a more credible cult of personality than the clownishly unfit Donald J. Trump.
The die has been cast a long time ago.
