But there was a twist. In a tank top adorned with a rainbow and the words \u201cLove wins,\u201d Geller came to join gay conservative, anti-feminist bad boy Milo Yiannopoulos in launching a new alliance, uniting gays and right-wing, anti-Muslim activists (Yiannopoulos is both). In the wake of the Orlando nightclub massacre, they think it\u2019s a natural. Killer Omar Mateen claimed the shooting as a blow for ISIS, though it probably had more to do with his own tortured sexual identity and history of mental problems than with his Muslim background. But Tuesday night\u2019s event denounced the liberal establishment that one speaker claimed \u201ccares more about the rights of Muslims than murdered gay people.\u201d Orlando, this alliance argues, was just the first shot in a coming Muslim crusade against LGBT Americans, and gays should know who their real allies are. To Geller and Yiannopoulous, they include Donald Trump, the man Yiannopolous playfully calls \u201cDaddy.\u201d\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EThat sounds dire, but mostly people had turned out to party\u2014and worship the cult hero Milo, who hours before had been permanently banned from Twitter, reportedly for his role in ginning up the racist, sexist harassment of \u003Cem\u003EGhostbusters\u003C\/em\u003E star Leslie Jones. \u201cWith the cowardly suspension of my account, Twitter has confirmed itself as a safe space for Muslim terrorists and Black Lives Matter extremists, but a no-go zone for conservatives,\u201d Yiannopolous said in a statement. He took the stage to chants of \u201cMilo, Milo, Milo!\u201d from the mainly male, entirely white crowd (the only black person I saw was a reporter).\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EBefore Geller and Yiannopolous spoke, the crowd welcomed the notorious Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who runs the anti-immigrant Dutch Party for Freedom. Wilders, a Trump admirer, was banned from entering Britain in 2009 for his Islamophobia (the decision was reversed in 2010) but was welcome here in Cleveland. He denounced politicians who \u201care Chamberlains when we need Churchills,\u201d called Europe \u201cEurabia,\u201d and said both the United States and Europe are at risk from Muslim residents who\u2019ve traveled to train with ISIS but are allowed to return home anyway.\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cSharia means hate,\u201d Wilders declared, adding \u201cIslam has no place in a free society.\u201d Wilders\u2019s party is leading in the polls. \u201cI could become the next prime minister,\u201d he told the crowd. \u201cI don\u2019t want more Muslims in the Netherlands.\u201d Some in the crowd didn\u2019t seem to know who he was when he began, but Wilders left the stage to chants of \u201cGeert, Geert, Geert.\u201d\u003Caside class=\u0022right hidden-on-mobile most-popular-plus-ad\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022most-popular hover_b_remove\u0022\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003Ch3\u003EMost Popular\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022popular-article\u0022\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E1\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/the-nra-accidentally-made-a-great-case-for-gun-control-at-the-republican-convention\/\u0022\u003EThe NRA Accidentally Made a Great Case for Gun Control at the Republican Convention\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022popular-article\u0022\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E2\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/a-big-victory-for-voting-rights-in-wisconsin\/\u0022\u003E9 Percent of the Wisconsin Electorate Just Got Their Right to Vote Back\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022popular-article\u0022\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E3\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/the-man-accused-of-inspiring-turkeys-coup-is-behind-the-largest-charter-school-chain-in-america\/\u0022\u003EThe Man Accused of Inspiring Turkey\u2019s Coup Is Behind the Largest Charter-School Chain in America\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022popular-article\u0022\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E4\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/night-one-of-the-rnc-when-plagiarism-isnt-your-worst-problem\/\u0022\u003ENight 1 of the RNC: When Plagiarism Isn\u2019t Your Worst Problem\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022popular-article\u0022\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E5\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/islamophobes-white-supremacists-and-gays-for-trump-the-alt-right-arrives-at-the-rnc\/\u0022\u003EIslamophobes, White Supremacists, and Gays for Trump\u2014the Alt-Right Arrives at the RNC\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/aside\u003E\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EAn exhilarated Richard Spencer, a leading white nationalist who coined the term \u201calt-right,\u201d introduced himself to me just as Milo began to speak. \u201cThis is the alt-right convention!

One of the organizers, Chris Barron, the genial founder of GOProud, greeted me warmly, and several people went out of their way to say hello. \u201cYou blocked me on Twitter,\u201d says a friendly Josh Smith, who used to run one of two Salon.com parody accounts. Smith has turned out to see his hero Milo, but he\u2019s impressed by the luminaries in the room. He points out to me the urbane, white-haired Peter Brimelow, the long-time, pro-white, anti-immigration writer and agitator who runs the similarly themed site \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.vdare.com\u0022\u003EVDare.com\u003C\/a\u003E. \u201cIsn\u2019t he kind of a white nationalist, or white supremacist?\u201d I ask Smith.

The event \u201creally doesn\u2019t speak to me,\u201d he confessed apologetically, dressed in a three-piece suit when most attendees were wearing T-shirts and jeans. But he was happy to see so many young people. \u201cIt\u2019s phenomenal.\u201d Marrying the issue of gay rights and anti-Islam activism \u201cmakes a lot of sense,\u201d Brimelow told a group of reporters. \u201cThe two are incompatible, Muslim immigration and gay rights.\u201d\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EBrimelow and VDare have been advocating for years that the GOP more explicitly become a party geared toward white people, and he\u2019s heartened that Trump seems to be listening. The group\u2019s tweets are now featured in the \u201ccrawl\u201d of conservative Twitter accounts that circle the GOP convention arena. The British former \u003Cem\u003ENational Review\u003C\/em\u003E writer isn\u2019t sure he trusts Trump to keep his promises on immigration. \u201cHe\u2019s says he\u2019s against \u003Cem\u003Eillegal\u003C\/em\u003E immigration, well, we listen to that, because all Republicans say they favor \u003Cem\u003Elegal\u003C\/em\u003E immigration\u201d (VDare does not.) But Brimelow believes Trump wants to limit legal immigration too. \u201cHis immigration paper was essentially written by Jeff Sessions. It\u2019s against birthright citizenship.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003Caside class=\u0022ad right most-popular-plus-ad grey_back\u0022\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\u003Cdiv id=\u0022ad-halfpage-219313-2\u0022 class=\u0022sailthru_class_form\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/advertising-policy\u0022 class=\u0022ad-policy\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EAd Policy\u003C\/a\u003E\n\t\t\t\u003C\/aside\u003E\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWho the hell knows what he\u2019s going to do?\u201d he continued.\u201d But we knew what Jeb Bush was going to do, he wanted amnesty. We knew what Marco Rubio was going to do.\u201d Brimelow will take his chances on Trump.\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003ERichard Spencer told me he doesn\u2019t know what Trump will do either, but he seems to trust him more. I ask him what his larger political goals are, beyond electing Trump, and he draws me into a friendly, if surreal, conversation about the future of white people. At first, he sounds pragmatic. \u201cWe are going to be a minority. If we ceased all immigration tomorrow, we\u2019d still become a minority. So we need a radical reorientation, and we need a new consciousness, to determine what we want.\u201d\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EOK, I\u2019ll bite, I decide, and I ask him what he thinks \u201cwe\u201d should want.\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWhat I care about is not just about being comfortable. It\u2019s not just about safety, or national security. White people are unique in the sense that, we are the ones who are going to explore the world. We\u2019ll need our own state eventually, for our Faustian destiny to explore the outer universe. That is what we were put on this earth to do. We weren\u2019t put on this earth to be nice to minorities, or to be a multiculti fun nation. Why are we not exploring Jupiter at this moment? Why are we trying to equalize black and white test scores? I think our destiny is in the stars. Why aren\u2019t we trying for the stars?\u201d\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EWhen I try to argue that equality and pluralism are central to the nation\u2019s founding documents, he looks disgusted. \u201cWhen I look at Thomas Jefferson\u2019s writings, the Declaration of Independence, it makes me want to vomit. The idea that a \u2018creator\u2019 made all human beings equal? That\u2019s ridiculous. The idea that all human beings are equal is such an appalling sentiment. We\u2019re here on this earth for such a short period of time. The idea that we would dedicate ourselves to something as stupid as \u2018equality\u2019 or \u2018democracy\u2019 is morally insulting to me.\u201d Nearby I notice a man carrying a sign: \u201cIncome Inequality = I.Q. Inequality.\u201d\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EOne thing that excites him about Trump, he says, is that the GOP nominee says he wants better relations with Russia. \u201cI think we should be pro-Russia, because Russia is the great white power that exists in the world. I\u2019m a Slavophile! I admire Vladimir Putin. I think Trump and Putin, together, could bring about a united white world. It\u2019s beautiful.\u201d\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003ETo Spencer, anyway. I ask if he has any reservations about his hero. \u201cThe Mike Pence thing really bothered me. He\u2019s just a typical conservative, part of the dumb establishment. Trump defeated these people, so why? I\u2019d have liked Jim Webb as vice president, sure, he\u2019s a Democrat, but he\u2019s with us, he loves his people.\u201d The former Virginia senator is in fact known for his opposition to affirmative action and his writing about the bravery of his Scots-Irish Southern relatives and the suffering of their descendants in an age of multiculturalism.\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cActually, he probably hates me,\u201d Spencer added, half joking. \u201cBecause I\u2019m a WASP and he\u2019s Scots Irish.\u201d I tell him that the Scots Irish didn\u2019t get along with Irish Catholics either\u2014they didn\u2019t even consider us white for a while\u2014so he probably hates me too. Finally, we\u2019re interrupted by his fans, and only later I think to ask Spencer: Does \u003Cem\u003Ehe\u003C\/em\u003E consider me white?\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EThe party had begun to break up around us, but then I noticed a huge crowd of people up in the bright hallway of this Cleveland State University \u201cballroom.\u201d I find a long line of young white men waiting for a chance to maybe shake the hand or chat with their hero Yiannopolous. The famous Milo, wearing sunglasses indoors, is chatting with his squad, but supposedly he will deign to shake hands with some of his admirers. I pick out one of the few women in the crowd and ask her what drew her to meet Milo. She laughed ruefully and points to the young white man next to her. \u201cMy husband.\u201d Which makes me realize that there actually aren\u2019t that many gay men in attendance at this \u201cGays for Trump\u201d party. The crowd consisted mainly of straight white 20- and 30-somethings who thrill to rebel Milo\u2019s attacks on feminism and \u201cpolitical correctness.\u201d\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EI declined to stand in line for the chance to meet the man who\u2019s become notorious for challenging \u201crape culture\u201d and picking fights on liberal college campuses. It\u2019s getting toward 1 \u003Cspan style=\u0022font-variant: small-caps;\u0022\u003Eam\u003C\/span\u003E. As I left I found a big crowd of protesters, with a sign, \u201cQueers Against Racism.\u201d Cops stood by warily, but there was little interaction between the revelers and the protesters. Ann Coulter hadn\u2019t showed, though she was advertised as a cosponsor, but no one had seemed to miss her. I realized that none of the protesters were likely to recognize any of the speakers, or the luminaries, I\u2019d seen inside. At this first \u201calt-right convention,\u201d most of the influentials weren\u2019t known to the public. They\u2019re hoping that will change, under President Donald J. Trump.\t\t\n\t\t\u003C\/section\u003E\n\t\t\u003Cfooter class=\u0022article-footer narrow\u0022\u003E\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\u003Cdiv class=\u0022footer-module comments\u0022\u003E\n\t\t\t\u003C!---- Comments count function ----\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\u003Ca class=\u0022click_comment\u0022 href=\u0022\u0022\u003E2 Comments\u003C\/a\u003E\n\t\t\t\u003C\/div\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003Cdiv class=\u0022footer-module\u0022\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\u003Cul class=\u0022article-share\u0022\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ca class=\u0022social-share fb\u0022 href=\u0022javascript:void(0)\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EFacebook\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ca class=\u0022social-share tw\u0022 href=\u0022javascript:void(0)\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan\u003ETwitter\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ca class=\u0022social-share email\u0022 href=\u0022javascript:void(0)\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EEmail\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ca class=\u0022social-share tn_print\u0022 href=\u0022javascript:void(0)\u0022 onclick=\u0022tn_print_fn()\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EPrint\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\u003C\/ul\u003E\n\t\t\t\u003C\/div\u003E\n\t\t\t\u003C!--\u003Cdiv class=\u0022footer-module narrow supplemental-info\u0022\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003C\/div\u003E--\u003E\n\t\t\t\u003Cdiv class=\u0022footer-module narrow author-bio\u0022\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/authors\/joan-walsh\/\u0022\u003E Joan Walsh\u003C\/a\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \u003Ca class=\u0022author-twitter\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/twitter.com\/@joanwalsh\u0022 target=\u0022blank\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan\u003ETwitter\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\n\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\u003C\/span\u003E Joan Walsh, \u003Cem\u003EThe Nation\u003C\/em\u003E\u2019s National Affairs Correspondent, is the author of \u003Cem\u003EWhat\u2019s the Matter With White People?
