And Wired clicks the Overton window further right. It’s not that you can’t get more extreme, it’s that it’s a distinction without much of a difference and they’re reassigning far right to something outside of the party with concentration camps, campaigns of dehumanization against racial and sexual groups, ideological purges of the military, international fascist alignment, and a guy who literally did a Nazi salute on stage.
That’s far right extremism, whether or not there are a few nutcases beyond it. Pretending this is somehow the version of conservativism being threatened by the far right is just normalizing it.
