About 12 years ago, I used to work with a bloke whose hobby was being a member of the Sealed Knot reenactment society. He used to dress up as a roundhead and go off to old Civil War battlefields to replay the Battle of Marston Moor etc.
Anyway, a group of them branched out into reenacting the US Civil War. And off a load of them went to Gettysburg, at the invitation of the Confederate Re-enacters Society; or some such group, which they assumed were nerdish history buffs like themselves. Only they weren't - these guys, on the Confederate side, were still fighting the Civil War. They really wanted to send the Yankees home in body bags, re-introduce segregation and probably slavery, and turn the clock back 150 years.
The point being, these guys aren't a new phenomenon; they are just one among many congregations of utter nutjobs who have always been around, and who rallied under Trump's banner.
