Soon afterwards, he disavowed atheism (you'll never guess which religious group he said was the evil force behind the atheist movement) and demanded that the Alabama Democratic Party choose him to replace one of several Democrats running for state offices; the party responded by publicly calling him disgusting and declaring him persona non grata, and Darby whined about being censored. Soon after, his neo-Nazi allies abandoned him when they found out he was married to a Chinese woman and had two biracial kids. He's now fully disappeared into obscurity.
