    A lot of the bedwetting rhetoric about Cultural Revolution, new Gulags, French Revolution, etc. is rooted in this.https://twitter.com/OsitaNwanevu/status/1274062492793176070 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    I think some of the emotion we've seen from the center and the right over the past few weeks has been a mental break caused by the absence of a backlash to everything that's gone on. Not really a framework there for what's supposed to happen when the public shrugs at radicals. https://twitter.com/amconmag/status/1274059840223051778 …

      2. are you in the story?‏ @Moonsoother 19 Jun 2020
        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I think it's darker than that. There has been backlash, in the form of lynchings and other retaliation, but it's not the kind of backlash you take credit for in front of a camera. Hard to come out loudly and proudly as anti-anti-racist, so they find quieter ways.

        Heh. If only there was an easier way to say anti-anti-racist, or anti-anti-fascist. I guess we will never know.

        I actually think it’s interesting Dreher affected rage from middle America toward “racists” too. It’s like even he is trying to reach a middle ground, rather than his usual white/Christian panic.

        My favorite is the way they throw “antifa” around the way they used to throw “Reds” around in the 1930’s. A vague word used to justice horrible behavior against anyone who rocked the boat against that hard status quo

        The less 40+ year old pundits in media, the better.
