Thrilled by Trump’s return to the presidency, white supremacists fantasize about an all-white America made possible by coming mass deportations
The 30th annual American Renaissance (AmRen) conference took place this November 15-17 in Tennessee. American Renaissance is one of the longest standing white supremacist groups in the U.S., and its head, Jared Taylor, a Yale graduate, has been carrying the hate torch for decades.
This year again, American Renaissance brought together extremists from around the globe, including local racist groups, such as members of white nationalist Patriot Front and Patriot Girls United, both of which have ties to the neo-Nazi Tennessee Active Club. The conference also featured transnational neo-Nazi and other far-right speakers fantasizing about American mass deportations in the “millions,” legitimizing eugenics, and propagating the violently racist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory. The election proved to be a huge issue, with American Renaissance stating that “the large audience was optimistic after Mr. Trump’s victory.”
