Yes, Doug Jones is a brave man. I live an hour from where a British MP was murdered by a right-wing internet troll, so the threat is particularly real.
Part of the reason I occassionally deep dive into Breitbart is to address my own, hopefully irrational, fears of these types - while knowing that most of them have retreated to places on the internet that I can’t access.
Diving into Breitbart is now more a morbid interest in how Bannon tries to keep ‘the base’ together, when the base starts to notice they don’t have a lot in common, aside from who they hate. I left feeling grateful that I don’t have to spend my life there, and catiously optimistic that they’ll never manage to expand their numbers.
