The reaction against him is a striking illustration of how much the Overton window has narrowed on this forum compared to where it used to be.
I dissent!
DC, TJ, RI, John Dule, RINO Tom, Deadman, and a number of serious rightists on this forum are just as prominent as ever. To pretend that there’s been some drastic shift there is nonsense.
Speaking as one of those serious rightists, I agree with Shua. The forum has become significantly less hospitable to rightists over the past few years. Based on my conversations with other forum rightists, I suspect most of the other serious rightists you cited agree with me.

He never did that, unless you want to accuse the numerous people who said they would swear in on a copy of the US Constitution of the same thing, because apparently defending or supporting a country is also justifying/denying every crime they may or may not have committed.
Also, we just had a poster call the Confederate surrender the darkest moment in American history. Come to think of it, Del Taco might agree with that one. It certainly seems on brand.
