In the long run, yes. Because what's defined as 'fringe' and undesirable can change any moment like it had in the past with changing governments and corporate sentiment, and the next 'fringe' group may be a group that you are in. Even if it feels like that would be nigh on impossible at this moment.

- infamouscow 4y agoSo an idea can only be mainstream if you deem it acceptable? I guess we should get rid of voting while we're at it, since clearly your views are the only ones that matter.
- scarface74 4y agoWell, if you check out what’s going on in many Red states where the officials are trying to pass laws that give the government the power to overturn elections, where the former President tried to convince the Secretary of State in GA to “find votes”, and where he was trying to get the VP not to certify the election results, it’s already happening. Unless you also believe that Trump is facing down a shadowy cabal of Democratic pedophiles with headquarters below a pizza shop.
- unity1001 4y agoSome other group does not need to be mainstream for a group that you belong to be declared fringe or undesirable. That can easily happen with slightly changing public opinion, a different faction taking the government with a slight vote margin and many other factors.
