Twitter is the favorite home of Trump’s neo-Nazi fans. Just like their leader, they use it to harass journalists, women, minorities, and anyone else who dares to criticize their chosen leader, who also now happens to be the president-elect of the United States. However, this also means that all of their infighting and dirty laundry gets aired on that same platform for the world to see. Case in point - the infighting that happened on Monday regarding who would be attending and organizing a Nazi celebration of Trump’s inauguration, which they are calling the “Deploraball.” This appears to be a reference to Hillary Clinton’s “Basket of Deplorables” comment during the campaign.
It all started when a writer for New York Magazine, Jesse Singal, announced to the public that one of the main speakers at the Deploraball has a nasty history of open Nazism, and speaking about the “Jewish question.” While most of Trump’s “Alt-right” (read: Nazi) fans are pretty anti-semitic, they seem to be wanting to “professionalize” the movement, to be able to have more mainstream influence. To that end, the person in question, who goes by “Baked Alaska” on Twitter, was banned from the Deploraball. Another of Trump’s fans tweeted the following:
Baked Alaska is not a member of the Deploraball committee and will not be attending the event. We wish him well.

Mike Cernovich is another prominent Alt-right leader, and he told everyone that Baked Alaska’s slot will be taken by Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos.
I can confirm that MILO will now be attending the Deploraball!

Baked Alaska then went all in on Cernovich and others, essentially accusing them of not being openly bigoted enough to call themselves “Alt-right”:
Sad to see the Trump supporters that are so cucked they won't call themselves "alt-right" after being in the movement forever. Cowards!

Baked Alaska then shared messages where Cernovich told him to stop it with the Nazi stuff:
You can thank Mike @Cernovich for banning me from my own event for tweets. He seems to really care what the media thinks rather than his own pic.twitter.com/Qoyj5zox2z

After that, Milo became Baked Alaska’s target, and Baked Alaska started going on about “cucks” and retweeting nasty slurs aimed at Milo:
Milo has joined Deploraball after my ban, would only come if he's the headliner… lol what a shallow scumbag pic.twitter.com/bK2GWSxgdh

At the end of the public fight, the two launched competing Periscopes, and Baked Alaska hijacked the official Deploraball Twitter account:
OH MY GOD now Baked Alaska is saying to Cerno "I'M not not going to the event, YOU aren't." pic.twitter.com/d90osWljX7

This is hilarious. These people have been sooooo happy that Trump won, but it looks like the honeymoon is over before their racist messiah even takes office. Looks like their plans to somehow have their pathetic, bigoted movement take any sort of real hold in America is already going up in flames.
