>He could have gotten people on board easily.
I'm not entirely sure about that one. People back them may have been more racist or whatever, but I think in the great bulk of those people it was really out of ignorance, not knowledge. How widespread a problem was miscegenation, faggots, and niggers, really? Rockwell railed against those sorts of things but the average person saw none of it in their daily life. The foundational mentality of everybody was a lot different too. Political polarization was virtually nonexistent compared to now, trust in the government and institutions was still at record highs, raw degeneracy was still very contained, the list goes on and on. I think that if an identical leader to GLR were to come forward today it would be *easier* for him to gain followers than it was for Rockwell because of how much further everything's fallen since then.
