You saying it's dead doesn't negate his argument that... it's dead, Jim.
People who fantasize about a white ethnostate in America are lost causers but if we imagine a scenario where the Right somehow got total control for a decade, it's not unreasonable to think they could bring back immigration quotas by ethnicity and repeal or modify the civil rights act to give people more power to vote with their feet. (freedom of association) Seal the border, obviously. Remove welfare and affirmative action rules that unfairly disadvantage white men. Enforce the laws and force illegals to flee back to their countries. Heck maybe even bring back voting requirements like you must be property owner, and others that naturally filter out the weaker performers on merit. Not the ideal dream of white nationalists but it would move us closer to what they and civnats both want.
First of all the right won't be winning many elections with how many people on the right still prefer an entertainer who is excellent at wallowing in grievance instead of a man who actually achieves results and pushes the conservative agenda forward.
The right wing movement will never get even an inch closer to total control until the people in the movement majorly wise up and start picking competence over empty bluster and bravado.
A nation is a people. America stopped being one nation around 2012-2013, although the ball got rolling in 1964.
Civic nationalism is not a substitute for blood.
Your dream of an ethno state is long dead.
The dream of civic nationalism is also dying thanks to rampant partisanship.
Eh, they'll reform when this whole shit show collapses into ethnic and sectarian violence. Probably won't be around to see it, though.

None of this is even remotely feasible.
