The morning after Trump's first debate with Hillary Clinton, I had a conversation with a good friend of mine who was quite pro-Trump. This guy was the first person I saw to make the unambiguous case that Trump could win the White House and he was—and is—deeply sympathetic to the entire nationalist project. And on the morning after that first debate, he said to me—and here I'm paraphrasing: Well, he obviously can't be president. He's obviously, flatly unfit for office. Nobody that stupid should ever be allowed within a mile of the presidency. And nobody looking at that performance in good faith could possibly deny any of this. That's the basic fact of Trump's presidency. People have accommodated themselves to reality, because Trump is the president. But by any objective measure, he's utterly, completely, undeniably unfit for office at the most basic level. There were people who hoped that the office of the president would elevate Trump. Instead, quite the opposite has happened. the bulwark

Three suspected white supremacists arrested in Maryland and Delaware this week had discussed opening fire from different positions at Monday’s planned pro-gun rally in Richmond, Va., in the hopes of causing chaos, law-enforcement officials said. Authorities also confirmed they arrested three other men in Georgia this week who are allegedly linked to the same violent, white-supremacist group, called “the Base,” as the men who were heading to Virginia. The Georgia men were arrested on Wednesday for plotting to murder a Georgia couple, the Floyd County, Ga., police department said Friday. The group’s activities include recruiting members online, meeting to discuss strategy and practicing at a paramilitary training camp on a 100-acre tract in Silver Creek, Ga., county police said. Silver Creek is an unincorporated part of the county northwest of Atlanta. The FBI said it assisted local law enforcement on the Georgia arrests. Law-enforcement agencies have been tracking the group, which aims to “accelerate the downfall of the U.S. government, incite a race war and establish a white ethno-state,” according to an affidavit associated with the Georgia arrests, and filed in a local court. Gun-rights advocates have rallied in Richmond on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, also known as Lobby Day, for nearly two decades. They are planning for an especially large crowd on Monday in response to Democrats’ plans to pass a slate of gun-control bills. Democrats took over both chambers of Virginia’s legislature in a November election and have moved quickly to advance legislation, including measures the Senate approved Thursday to expand background checks and limit people to one handgun purchase a month. Gov. Ralph Northam on Wednesday declared a state of emergency and temporarily banned firearms from the grounds near the state Capitol in Richmond, citing law-enforcement concerns about violence during Monday’s rally. Gun-rights groups sued on Thursday a Richmond court, claiming state law prohibited the Democratic governor from using the emergency declaration to enact the gun ban. Hours later, a judge upheld the governor’s order, prompting the gun-rights groups to petition the state Supreme Court.
