I don't think Trump is as alone on his view as the media makes it appear:

This is only 6 people, but it's picked by CNN.
Trump's supporters are upset with him for the distractions, commenting on the MSNBC show and such instead of sticking to the agenda, but they don't disagree with him on his fundamental viewpoint.
In this case the Survey Monkey results make sense. The folks I talk to mostly feel that it is both sides that are a threat, and that the Antifa people shouldn't get a pass and only the white supremacists singled out, as both are hate groups.
I think the media and the Washington beltway (i.e. GOP leadership) are very out of touch with this country. They were when they missed the vein of feelings into which Trump tapped, and they're missing it now by thinking Trump's views are somehow radically out of the mainstream for this country.
An awful lot of Americans think Antifa and the BLM are just as preaching of hate and intolerance and race division as the KKK and Nazis. An awful lot of americans want us to control our borders. An awful lot of Americans want tough talk with our enemies.
It may not be popular with the media or the more blue Americans or even the GOP leadership, but the question I had was if Trump was really so alone, and he's not.
His technique is poor, but that's what you get when you don't elect a politician. Politicians have great technique, just no substance. Trump has substance to spare, he's just so tactless and over the top he's constantly stepping on that substance.
