MAGA is moving the Overton Window - That is The Biggest Danger and Hard to Reverse.

[null]

MAGA needs to change law and policy BUT first they need to change minds, so that society allows their agenda.

Comparing 2016 with today it is clear that social norms have shifted in the wrong direction.

Musk gets away with a Heil or two with barely a whimper's backlash.

Voting T out is not going to reverse the change in mentality.



"The Overton window is the range of subjects and arguments politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time.[1] It is also known as the window of discourse.

The term is named after the American policy analyst and former senior vice president at Mackinac Center for Public Policy, Joseph Overton, who proposed that the political viability of an idea depends mainly on whether it falls within an acceptability range, rather than on the individual preferences of politicians using the term or concept.[2][3] According to Overton, the window frames the range of policies that a politician may recommend without appearing too extreme to gain or keep public office given the climate of public opinion at that particular time.[4]"

This is very important since white supremacists have made this their goal. Look up ***** archives and you'll see them talking about this since they know this is how they can push their goals into fruition.

Unsurprising. They'll still defend her. She could set a black baby on fire and they still would. In any case, this is an attempt to make the racist right wing trendy. The normalization of hate and shifting of the overton window has always been the goal. Soon, blacks, as a whole, not just men, being seen as subhuman trash deserving death en masse will be seen as a "controversial but sensible" opinion.

I fully expect her to start promoting A. Wyatt Mann art and referring to black people as "outdated farm equipment", much to support from her fanbase.

In any case, I'm glad to see the mask slip off even further and many of her fans being revealed to be fully full of shyt. shyt is hilarious and wonderful. She needs to drop the pretense and go full fash.


This alone should be reason enough for people to come down hard on both but alas, none will.

It has, and always will be, about shifting the Overton Window to something heinous for black people. All of it.

Been saying this.

It's akin to slowly increasing the temperature of water to boil and kill a frog. The death of decency, or at least its erosion, is part of this.
