I blame the internet. We had succeeded in marginalizing racism and misogyny, and were on the way to marginalizing homophobia, but the internet has provided a soap box and gathering place for racists, misogynists and homophobes to express their hatred and receive approval and encouragement. Combine this with AM Hate Radio and Fox News, and you have a system for re-normalizing all those things we thought we’d outgrown.

I blame Reagan and the bully talibangelicals and racists he unleashed. That was the beginning.
