22. You missed the point

The John Birch Society, for example, was never considered acceptable to Barry Goldwater's and Nelson Rockefeller's and Richard Nixon's Republican Party. The KKK wasn't allowed to rally with the GOP, they weren't even allowed to rally with Wallace's party. They were out of the mainstream unacceptable kooks. EJ's point is that we are now watching the theofascist kooks come right out of the closet at GOP rallies, and have their kookery not only accepted but encouraged by the top of the ticket. This is new ground. Kookery has been around for ever, it just used to be kept out back and not invited into the living room.
