      Sure. Not trying to say otherwise, but they were at least largely quiet about it, they used euphemisms

      It’s the whole “you can’t say n* n* n*” speech from Lee Atwater.

        I agree with you and the lineage is obvious when looking at how Steve Bannon pushed GamerGate at Breitbart and then went straight on to become Trump’s campaign manager.

        And Bannon’s name missing from that article is one of the article’s major flaws, considering how much Bannon shaped the MAGA movement as a whole.
