Among the many titles in the white supremacist canon, “The Turner Diaries” is the most important and one of the few titles recognized by mainstream Americans. A young white man, Turner joins a terrorist group called “the Order,” which commits a series of attacks designed to incite a wider race war. The plot climaxes with the establishment of a white ethno-state, and Turner is martyred. They eventually take over the world, erasing the white race from existence. White supremacists seem convinced that the novels’ “white genocide” is coming to life, and are petitioning Mr. Trump for help.
