Ex-neo-Nazi Christian Picciolini: "The words I used to say are now part of the mainstream"

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : At the same time, we are seeing the institutions we depend on for safety -- law enforcement, the military -- becoming infiltrated with the same ideologies that affected me 30 years ago.
42% : Up until that point, professionals, experts and those in law enforcement were touting the supposed fact that white supremacist organizations were either dead or dying.
42% : If you go back to poll taxes and literacy tests, that's exactly what the Voting Rights Act was correcting.
39% : That means that law enforcement won't feel that it has the support to do what they need to do to arrest white extremist criminals.
38% : There are probably people in prison longer for marijuana, and this guy, for plotting to overthrow the U.S. government with a mass casualty event, is free.
35% : And there is a certain set of policies that emanate out of that paranoia: "Build the wall," family separation, the Muslim ban, voter suppression.
