Over the last six years, the policy prescriptions of the dissident right have slowly but surely made inroads into the spaces of mainstream conservatism. The question of demographic replacement is cautiously voiced by actors who as late as 2019 dismissed the very idea as a racist conspiracy theory. More than that, these selfsame personalities are increasingly willing to couch the immigration question as an attack on white Americans, rather than routing it through a maze of civic euphemisms until it is twisted beyond recognition. Almost every week it seems as if another Twitter personality, followers list awash with frog and anime girl profile pictures, graces Tucker Carlson’s show with a guest appearance. Whatever else may transpire, we cannot deny that at the very least, the dissident right is succeeding in blurring the lines between itself and the greater umbrella of the right wing.
