It seems that by distinguishing 'smart people on the right' from just any right-leaning person, Murphy may have been precluding discussions with patently offensive persons who are only interested in the verbal equivalent of assault. That said, I'm sympathetic with your Pubski post. I've had my faith in humanity tested by some truly gruesome assholes after only a fraction of the time you spent engaged with one. It's hard not to be discouraged.What Murphy doesn't touch on (yet?, I haven't finished) is that engaging in these racist frames is not only "vertiginous", it can be truly sickening.
