Stormfront.org has been an internet hate hub since it launched in 1996. Its owner, former Ku Klux Klan leader Don Black, said last week that donations had plummeted and that the site was scaling back operations. But longtime Stormfront posters suggested Black’s wife had been paying the bills, and that she was finally checking out.
“Our contributions have once again totaled less than $2,000, which is not enough to cover our basic server and radio bills, and this month we no longer have enough personal money to make up the difference,” Black wrote last week in a post first spotted by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The plunge in donations follows a decline in web traffic to the site.
Though popular with an older generation of KKK members and white supremacists, Stormfront’s outdated design has fallen out of favor with younger neo-Nazis who tend toward sites like the right-wing Twitter clone Gab, and semi-private messaging platforms like Discord.
So far in 2018, Stormfront has fallen more than 5,000 places in the global ranking of most-viewed websites, according to web traffic tracker Alexa.
I guess it's hard to compete for traffic against the famous white supremacist who now occupies the White House.
I mean let's face it, if you want more bang for your racist buck you donate to Donald Trump.
Awwww, shoot...

We can call out hateful rhetoric from politicians without assigning motivations to broad swaths of their voters. We can unequivocally condemn white supremacists and neo-Nazis without placing every Trump supporter in that group. Respecting voters, rather than dismissing them, is one of those happy strategies that is both morally right and politically sound.
"It improves the odds of a #BlueWave in November."<VOTE!
They can try. But Hillary labeled Trump supporters "Deplorables" and they EMBRACED the label. They're proud of it. They can try to rebrand the Democrats with it but it isn't going to work.

" When the Assad regime used sarin nerve agents on the town of Khan Sheikhoun in 2017, Russian officials accused Syrian first responders—a group known as the White Helmets—of fabricating the attacks—saying it was impossible to explain otherwise how the group

"“The main things we’ve been seeing are attacks on the White helmets, calling them terrorists and calling it a false flag,”
"The conspiracy theories about the White Helmets and Douma piggyback on a well-developed disinformation infrastructure aimed at discrediting the civil defense group.
A study released by the Syria Campaign, a non-governmental human rights organization, and carried out by the social media analysis firm Graphika looked at tweets by 2.65 million accounts discussing the White Helmets between June 2016 and October 2017 and found a “a solid indication of a coordinated disinformation campaign”
