US ELECTION 2020: The rise of extremism?

Nowhere are the divisions in what’s called the United States more evident than on the streets. Race riots and right wing thugs. A President who eventually backtracks on his refusal to condemn white supremacists just weeks before an election.

But, President Trump did condemn White Supremacy. Additionally, his condemnation was immediate and harsh. There is an increase in RW extremism, not necessarily white supremacy, but it has more to do with conspiracy theories, pigeonholes created by social media, and political polarization caused by the traditional media.

I'm not a Trumper but he has condemned white supremacy dozens of times. Meanwhile, Richard Spencer endorsed Biden because he wasn't getting out of Trump what he wanted.
