I don’t honestly think they really did. What they were sold was that the conservative leadership held the conservative individuals’ best interests lined up. Last time they didn’t get to execute their plan. This time no one was left to stop them.

To that point, there are proud boys and neo nazies in positions of power. They’re wearing the gear and putting their slogans on things. The individuals have been told over and over that it’s the non-whites that are the cause of all their problems and they’re still on board with ethnic cleansing. They are just now starting to get somewhat disillusioned that things aren’t actually getting better for them even though the playbooks are being run.
