This is a great snippet from Scott Lemieux. All of these "protest movements" against masks and vaccines and teaching accurate history are actually not anywhere close to being popular. These are fringe movements with lunatics staffing the ranks.
The presence of the Right Wing Wurlitzer and social media takes a few cranks and makes a movement out of them. They mainstream the idiocy into public discourse, so that we think everyone on the Right is screaming for Ivermectin and coughing in people's faces. And everyone on the Right thinks the Left is entirely the San Francisco School Board.
We need to stop amplifying awful people.
