Really!!? Sounds terrifying
I tried to google it but all I could find was this place over in Europe.

Killarney well said.

Supporters and/or policy makers for Trump, Hanson, and political parties who play up on and/or blame 'globalisation', 'immigration' etc. are simply recommending white nativist or national socialist policies via 'values', 'feeling's etc. matching their culturally specific supporters and/or policy makers.

The importance of Trump to the GOP's nativist or radical wings is that it's their last chance demographically; ageing culturally specific (mostly 'WASP') constituency is fading due to demographics (warning to LNP too).

The only way a political or social minority can continue to dominate is through national socialism, with short cuts on democracy, limiting the electoral franchise, civil society and freedom of speech. An essential element of this is misleading their constituents and the electorate through mainstream media; creation of confusion, uncertainty, fear, dystopia and some hysteria.

This affects everyone including politicians and media exemplified by the hubris of David Cameron risking Brexit via the EU referendum based on political analysis or media sources, gut instinct or being over run by emotion and mob rule?

Toby says:” Focus groups consistently show that a significant slab of them do not actively support the policies of their candidate, nor do they particularly want them to win”.
Toby does not say who these focus groups are, or how they take their samples, to obtain this highly suspect result.
Everyone I know that votes for Pauline Hanson wants her to win and pursue her policies, the same reason as I vote for her.
Rache makes the comment:” , Trump and Hanson supporters are generally ill-informed reactionaries who just want to blame someone for the state of their own dissatisfied lives.”.
She gives no basis for this remark, and doubtless does not know any of the people she baselessly vilifies. It is certainly wrong in respect of the Hanson supporters that I know, who have very satisfactory lives, and do not want them changed by poor government policies.
Toby has nothing to support his ridiculous assertions, and any comments which support him have no basis, as in Rache’s nonsense claim of “irrefutable evidence”.

A long but very interesting panel discussion held at New Saint Andrews College is on youtube at

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZIL2Y0QtYI involving Peter Hitchins, Douglas Wilson (I think) and Walter Kirn.

Not totally impartial but not pro either candidate and what I found to be some really interesting coverage of the bigger issues.

I'm much more of a fan of Christopher Hitchins work than Peter's but think Pater made some very good points in this one. First time I'd seen Walter Kirn.
