"The right still has more than its share of wing-nuts, the president being the most famous, and we're allowed to laugh about them (in fact, it's practically mandatory). Unfortunately, a growing quantity of opposite-number lunacies–from a chess site temporarily shut down by YouTube because of its 'white against black' rhetoric, to an art gallery director forced to resign for saying he would still 'collect white artists'–is mostly off-limits. If we can't laugh at time is a white supremacist construct, what can we laugh at?"
Matt Taibbi at Substack in 2020 argues "that the political right and left in America have traded villainous cultural pathologies."
