The article critiques the dismissive handling by the media and political institutions of troubling statements made by young Republicans, which include expressions of support for violence and white supremacy. It argues that these attitudes are not fringe beliefs but rather central to the Republican Party’s ideology and should be viewed as foundational rather than aberrational. The author contends that the mainstream portrayal of these comments as mere scandals minimizes the seriousness of the rhetoric and allows for the normalization of extremist views.
