Patrick Casey, the leader of Identity Evropa, disbanded the group entirely because of it's apparent 'baggage' and is now creating an organization called the "American Identity Movement". The new organization embraces a generic boomer 20th century "Americanism" aesthetic in the hopes it will help them in their neverending chase for 'good optics'.
I find this somewhat comedic considering that IE was originally an offshoot off of the American Freedom Party but now they're coming back full circle to the overused 'Patriot' image and even ripping off Patriotfront while they're at it.
When will they realize that every time this branding has been tried it utterly failed? Council of Conservative Citizens, American Freedom Party, Liberty Lobby, all defunct without leaving any significant historical impact.

Americans are a British decedent ethnic nation. You are only American if your ancestors were British and primarily English people who were here before and during the revolution. With the additional caveat that your blood must have not mixed or changed much since then. I am a WASP and still look like my ancestors who settled this land, just being "white" does not make you American. Russians are not American, Greeks are not American, Italians are not American, etc. If you are not of majority British decent, you cannot be an American, and even if you are, it does not mean you are American.

But Christopher Columbus was Italian who was funded by the Portuguese. Spain and France also had colonies in America and Russia had colonies in Pre-Alaska. So Italians, French, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese should all have claim to being proper American.
And then there was Leif Erickson, so Icelanders should be the only true Americans.

Your an idiot. The American nation refers to the British; and primarily English, settlers who created the United States.
