"I plan to vote for and a straight democratic ticket. It’s not based on 'accelerationism' or anything like that; the liberals are clearly more competent people," Spencer wrote on on Sunday.
Spencer, who backed in 2016, further said that "the MAGA/Alt-Right moment is over"
His tweet read: "The MAGA/Alt-Right moment is over. I made mistakes; Trump is an obvious disaster; but mainly the paradigm contained flaws that we now are able to perceive.
"And it needs to end. So be patient. We'll have another day in the sun. We need to recover and return in a new form.
"Voting for Trump is arguably the more 'accelerationist' choice," Spencer said, referring to a radical white supremacist ideology called accelerationism.

He continued by giving examples of accelerationism: "Under [Trump's] watch cities are collapsing, we almost started World War III, the attacks on people like me increased 10 fold, etc. The simply more competent managers of decline."

What's more, on the eve of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Spencer and others marched through the University of Virginia’s campus and shouted racist and anti-Semitic slogans.
Things escalated when street brawls erupted between white nationalists planning to attend the march and counter-protesters, resulting in one death and over a dozen injured.

Spencer feared that Trump's approved airstrike which resulted in the death of Soleimani brought the US to the brink of war with Iran.
"I deeply regret voting for and promoting Donald Trump in 2016," Spencer on January 7. "To the people of Iran, there are millions of Americans who do not want war, who do not hate you, and who respect your nation and its history."
