Eventually I gave up on it as a waste of time, but I remember the horrified feeling I got when I realized that what I thought was just a weird little corner of the internet was actually a growing influence on real politics and a significant ideological contributer to Trumpism – I think it when I learned that he was watching election returns with Peter Thiel is what did it for me. That some of the jargon has made it to Fox News doesn't surprise me in the least, and shouldn't surprise Scott. There is no daylight at all between NRX and the Republican Party in 2021.
