The irony is that here in America there’s right wing politicians which can be democrats as well.
These are the true capitalist war mongering anti socialist.
Then we have the right wing conservatives which are the staunch religious proponents who fight about religion in schools and anti abortion legislation.

And then there’s the right wing extremists who everyone immediately thinks of when they here the words right wing. These are the throw ignorant throwbacks to the time when if weren’t white you weren’t right.
Oh yeah and before Nixon these were the representatives of the Democratic Party in the states south of the mason dixon.

And believe it or not these guys just like the left wing extremists are the MINORITY but those who scream the loudest or simply act the craziest will always gather the attention of those around them.

Which also means that even though their usually wrong they’re also the most active especially when it comes to political activities like VOTING or interacting with political leaders or the media.

Which is why they usually win their voting agendas and have everyone believing that they’re larger than what they are.

Just saying that if you have the full population of 1 million extremists that vote vs the 500,000 out of the 2 million non extremists that vote who do you think is going to win?

It’s very simple the non extremists need to start voting as a whole instead of avoiding it, expecting everyone else to do it, or worse highly underestimating the will of the extremists to vote.

I've heard these themes.

I believe fear is part of the foundation to this mindset, and to a similar extent; narcissism. These people seem to think they have achieved perfection - 'uber menschen' status, if you will - and anything different is by definition inferior.
Which, I believe, is part of how they swallow these falsehoods whole. The falsehoods are flattering. Pretty much each and every one is a stroke for the ego.

Question for the room.
If you listen to faux news and people who peddle or swallow the aforementioned falsehoods, have white conservatives EVER done ANYTHING wrong?

Great piece that explains current politics very well.

In other words evolution has moved at very different rights within the human species.

There isn't much you can do with stupid.

I am hopeful that the young women growing up in this world now will be the ones to put a stop to this all white male supremacist bullshit. It will be the women who will bring us to a more fair and just Country.

It's more than that. I liken it to a wave of mass-hysteria, rooted in cognitive dissonance, deliberately fanned by the Mad Man in the White House. (Good title for a book--"Mad Man: The Trump Years In The White House" ).

Yup. Pack of white supremacists for sure. Women and minorities don't count.

I'm currently watching Mad Men (yet again) and it's interesting to see how racist and misogynistic attitudes prevalent back in the 30-60s are back again in the US.
