They are longer pandering to the fringe groups, they are the fringe groups. The president is retweeting and boosting conspiracy theories, as are Republican officials all the way down to the base voter. Trump is merely the symptom, he rode and amplifies a wave that already existed, and will exist even after he is gone in 1 or 5 years. The left has for the most part kept the fringe to the fringe. What ever you think of Pelosi and Schumer, they and none of their fellow Dem leadership are trading in conspiracy theories. Even AOC, isn't promoting fringe conspiracy theories. <br /><br />I do think defeating Trump takes some heat out of the movement and gives an opening for less extreme conservatives to exert influence, but the core base will be looking for a new standard bearer and there will be ambitious politicians eager to take on the role. There is too much conservative infrastructure and money to let this go away anytime soon. rustypickuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861692872132066016noreply@blogger.com
