Here is how Donald Trump described said candidate's apology for that: "And then he apologized like a little baby, like a disgusting, little weak, pathetic baby, and that's the problem with our country," [1]

Make no mistake, Trump and the alt-right are incredibly hostile to anyone who doesn't see Black Lives Matter as an evil, racist attack on white people, who don't think that blacks complaining about police violence against them is the real racism.

I think that's true, but I also think one reason that works for him is that the left is so hostile to a moderate position.

Seems more directly applicable that it works for him because the alt-right is so hostile to a moderate position.

Both sides are.

People had to choose between two extremes, not one extreme and one moderate position.
