Their racism, misogyny, xenophobia, nationalism and hatred have become too obvious to ignore.

They won't disappear but they will just change their their logos and invent new conspiracy theories for the gullible and frightened.

They say they need a "Strong Leader" to save them from the Bogeymen and have now selected a n (allegedly) billionaire who's main shtick is playing the victim and whining and attempting to convince the working class that he's on their side he's one of them.
