There was a time that may have ruined someone's chances but now that despicable shit is out in the open and there's a segment of society that is drawn to it.
The Republican party has lost women by the droves and doesn't have a high percentage of non-white support. They need as many white male votes as they can get.
So they're actively looking to attract aggrieved white men who buy into the notion that white people and men are victims of racism, feminism, and societal suppression in today's America and want to go backwards, in my opinion.
In any case, eligible white supremacist citizens have just as much right as any other citizens to vote and support leaders who they believe reflect their values.
I'm glad to see a record number of strong female and minority candidates running for Congress this year. Hopefully, they'll inspire high voter turn-out and our body of elected lawmakers will include more representatives with personal experience and insight in regards to the issues faced by a diversity of constituents.
