Doesn't he say right there in the bolded part that he's talking about people promoting the alt-right?
I live in the South and I am confronted by people regularly who speak the alt-right lingo and fully expect me to reciprocate. It's like watercooler talk to them, and since I'm a white male with facial hair, I must totally belong to that country club, right? Wrong. They are usually taken aback when I rebut them, but then they get excited and see the conversation now as a game to score points in or a chance to convert a non-believer. After all, I'm a white male in the south with facial hair . . . shouldn't I be down with the sickness?
I think that's what AD is referring to. I can talk to college educated professionals who by all reason should run screaming from the hills regarding this alt-right stuff . . . but they have full-blown lost their shit.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he means the expanding space given to the alt right in real world circles and on the internet, elsewhere.
