Richard Spencer's very sad Montana life is proof de-platforming Nazis works

Richard Spencer, the noted neo-Nazi and white supremacist who latched himself to Trumpism and rode it all the way to mainstream prominence, is straight up not having a good time. According to a report from The New York Times, Spencer has been ousted from Whitefish, Montana, a well-to-do resort town in the Rocky Mountains where he and his racist policy thinktank once called home. It's the latest piece of evidence that — surprise! — de-platforming neo-Nazis works.

Just for a quick hit of schadenfreude, here's where Spencer's life is at, according to the Times: He's reportedly keeping a low-profile out of necessity, as the community banded together to make sure he no longer feels welcome. Residents, state officials, religious groups, and human rights activists all joined together to create a coalition to counter the hateful rhetoric that he spreads personally and through his National Policy Institute, an innocuously named thinktank that pushed white supremacist ideology.
