But the political “outrage” that fuels their persistence usually/typically tails off after last week’s bullshit-scandal-of-the-week.
Until, of course, some new “grievance” gets ginned up….

The main grievance these white supremacist douchebags have is a towering resentment that their racism is not validated in all parts of public life. The Fox News and Rush Limbaugh outrages of the day are mostly intended to feed this resentment. The details of these outrages don’t matter and are quickly forgotten. That’s why lies will serve perfectly well if no suitably outrageous truths can be found that week. All that matters is keeping the underlying resentment fed.

So now we have tens of millions of voters in the US that will support US fascism or Nazism based purely on resentment.
