Sweden’s neo-Nazi Nordic Resistance Movement (NMR) held its largest march ever on Saturday, celebrating the election of Donald Trump, which it calls the start of a world revolution. The NMR has been promoting "an openly racist and anti-Semitic doctrine" since 1997.

Per Öberg, the Nazi group’s press chief, told the gathered crowd that Donald Trump’s election was a sign that a world revolution was beginning.

Also speaking was Vera Oredsson, a lifelong Nazi who was a member of the Hitler youth as a child growing up in Nazi Germany, and Fredrik Vejdeland, the group’s head of strategy.

More than 600 participated (despite being the snowiest Movember day in Stockholm in 111 years. [More...])

A Swedish advertising company named Round and Round ran a campaign, The Great Trump Escape, before the election, offering advertising jobs to Americans who wanted to flee in the event Trump won. The company says response has been huge -- more than 350 people applied.

They don't have any Americans working for the company as of now, but they say:

But we get in touch with and we have our fair share of relations with Americans, and we’re citizens of the world. We can’t not be concerned over what’s happening.”

The company made clear it wasn't hoping for a Trump win. The last line of the website campaign said:

“Honestly, we really hope it won’t come down to all that. Get your sh*t together, America”.

Unfortunately, Americans didn't get their sh*t together. The NMR would feel right at home in Silver Spring, Maryland .

We're on Day 5 of the Trump protest marches. Keep them coming.
