Labeling Right-Wing Ideologies and Understanding Trump Supporters
In this chapter, they discuss the labeling of right-wing ideologies as extreme and question whether it is still appropriate given their increasing popularity. They criticize the media for using this term as a way to discredit these ideologies and suggest that it would be more productive to listen to the concerns of the people who support them. They also reflect on the failure of the left to understand the appeal of former President Trump and how dismissing his supporters resulted in frustration and further emboldened them.
