It gets even worse. If you ignore the problem by not talking about it and only fringes discuss it - people will go to the fringes to hear what they have to say.

- pm90 6y agoWell not all extremist views are the same. White nationalism and UBI may both be fringe views (maybe the latter isn’t but let’s assume so). I think it’s fine to not mainstream extremist views that call for extermination or discrimination of certain sections of society even if the views have a chance to affect the polls. These fringe views have existed throughout the life of the US and it’s only when they get mainstream attention that they get energized. Every so often they flare up into the mainstream but then get killed by the rottenness of the people that espouse them.

Most mainstream pols seem to just be useless now, when any opinion right of the orthodoxy places you somewhere next to Mengele. Fail to take a knee?? Clearly a Nazi. It is nothing new, normal Soviet propaganda.
