If ethnic cleansing constitutes "fairly normal right-wing views," then right wingers have no place in polite, civil society because they support a violent, genocidal ideology bent on destroying Western Civilization. How can we have empathetic coexistence, for example, in a government that forcably disappears legal non-white immigrants and sends them to labor camps via federally funded masked thugs operating in unmarked vans? How can anyone peacefully coexist with a group that only wants to make space in society for white Americans and is willing to achieve those ends violently and extralegally?
It didn't used to be this way. Right-wingers can go back to peaceful coexistence when they put aside the supremacist and nationalist viewpoints and return to advocating for low taxes and small government without excluding entire groups of people. But make no mistake, the Right -- the intolerant ones -- have to change first. The fact that you think that this is "normal" is a chilling indictment of modern society. At this rate, in 10 years you'll think unelected leaders, concentration camps and death by firing squad is "normal" too.
