Scott has some really weird alt-right tendencies that make me pretty nervous.

Rationalizing xenophobia as doing what's best for America (with absolutely no evidence to back up his actions) isn't, 'wanting to be right'. I mean, you can demonstrably show that immigration to the US has done this country a lot of good.

Trump's entire platform is completely devoid of evidence-based decision making and is much closer to that of a temperamental child who wants to just go with his gut at every turn.

You mean white supremacist/racist/xenophobic right?

Just because they use a less specific term for themselves, doesn't mean we shouldn't call them what they are.
