    On the other hand, sometimes it almost feels like mainstreamed bigotry and racism and all that trash is kind of gasping it’s last desperate breaths, like it’s ok the cusp of crawling back under rocks and into the shadows. It feels like there’s a lot of thrashing going on in that corner lately.

    Wholly agree as I’ve long said this is the rat backed into a corner and lashing out for the last time — at least, for now. It seems pretty clear that overall the modern far-right conservative ideological movement and its hodgepodge of conspiracy theories and anti/pseudoscience roots, embrace of unregulated capitalism, etc. — is near over. This is the make-or-break for them because they know they’re losing, hard.
