3. The Problem Is That They Are So Richly Rewarded For It By Right Wing Media

Right wing media creates this safe space for racists that is not impacted by things like science or facts. You can happily broadcast conspiracy theories to continue to keep your viewers on edge and anxious.

While some folks on the left, like Nina Turner, try to play the lefter-then-left game, there is not a comparable left wing echo chamber that consistently rewards folks on the left for saying things that are outrageous, which infuriate the right. To the contrary, you have right wing media giving left wing disrupters the most airplay not to attack Republicans, but to attack Democrats as "the establishment," which sort of gives away the game for would be disrupters like Nina Turner who are more famous for attacking Democrats, then attacking folks on the far right.
