It’s a big deal that Ben Shapiro has fallen off a cliff and this dirtbag has gotten so huge imo. The fascists are looking for their talking points to be even less logical and even more mask off. Not a step in the right direction.

    Agree but the wheels are really falling off. It isn't a done deal yet (for several reasons), but i think the cultural pendulum is already on its way back from "proto-fascism" toward "social democracy". The ideological effect is not necessarily going to mean electoral gains, but we can see that it's having a significant effect already.

    I prefer when reactionaries are honest. I hate when they try to hide behind a layer of respectability.
