Everyone says that this new crop of American Nazis is really mean, but I, a white journalist, went out to talk to them for this profile, and they were actually really nice. I mean, sure, when I first met George Nathan Bedford Forrest Wallace on his compound, I was a little thrown off by his swastika hat, Confederate-flag T-shirt, and his pants, which had a crossed-out trans flag on each leg. All those hateful clothes made him seem a little mean.
But when he opened the front door of his bunker for me, and I thought, See, this is a guy with manners. He knows how to treat a lady.

“We are going to have to live here with one another, believing what we believe, disagreeing in the ways we disagree… To recognize that does not mean we don’t disagree.” — New York Times columnist Ezra Klein, speaking on his podcast
