Allegorically Speaking
My take on the extreme right wing: It’s a bit like a bug zapper. When a particularly fat and obnoxious bug flies into the zapper, there is a lot of noise, bright lights, and a terrible smell. Everybody notices the bug (maybe for the first time in its life), the other bugs are yelling “way to go! make some noise, yo!” and they rejoice over how the smell is stressing out all the people near the zapper.
But in the final analysis, the bug has flamed out, the smell dissipates, the other bugs either fly into the zapper or learn to stay away (but not through evolution, heaven forbid) and life regains some balance. The effect of the bugs self-destructing is to create a flash of light and the stink of death, but there is no lasting harm to the folks in the yard.
