      Counterargument: No they weren’t. Many people were just more successful at ignoring it. Because it didn’t really impact them personally.

      It wasn’t unapologetically extreme when they got caught planning a fascist coup to overthrow and kill FDR? It wasn’t unapologetically extreme when they persecuted People for the last 70 years, ending careers and lives over people being socialist. (Insert black, non hero normative, or any other observed type of minority population)
