Extremism will blow up from the right and the left if Republicans do not act.

Otherwise, we're going to see extremism blow up from the right and the left. You are literally going to have extremists, and those are going to be the new brand of politics. Those are going to be the new candidates that are supported.

The Boogaloo Boys are closer to the mainstream of the right than eco-terrorists are to the mainstream of the left.

can find eco-terrorists yeah uh that's not the mainstream of and and you know i would say that probably the boogaloo boys are a little bit outside of the strict mainstream of the right but they're closer than eco-terrorists are to the mainstream of the left yeah Yes, I would agree a great deal.

The extreme right is entering a period where their fantasies will conflict with reality, leading to deeper extremism.

The second is that we are about to be entering a period where fantasies and alternative realities on the extreme right are going to be coming into large-scale conflict with what I'm going to call reality. As more and more excuses for why these fantasies aren't coming true become unconvincing, the need to escalate will be ever-present. Whereas before, in his earlier career, Alex could justify his conspiracies by pointing to the Federal Reserve. Now in the era of Trump, in order to make anything he's saying make sense, he needs to evoke the literal devil, end times prophecies, outrageously complicated and nonsensical conspiracies, and insistences that everyone he doesn't like is a pedophile. Without strong forces pushing in the opposite direction, this road only leads to deeper extremism.

Steven Crowder regularly hosted extremist guests like Stefan Molyneux on his show, which targets a youth audience.

This is a show that's tailored towards the youth, and the idea that you would have someone like Stefan Molyneux on a show whose demo is under 18, that should be a crime. You're enabling a psychopath to prey on your audience, and it's not like... Yeah, what are you, Joe Paterno? Alright! It's not like Stefan was on just once. All those people that I named were regular guests who appeared multiple times.
