In reply to the discussion: Ann Coulter has fallen from grace — and the reason why is terrifying [View all]TexasTowelie
(112,085 posts)She seems to think shes being ignored because of her strong opposition to immigration. Her latest screed is called Adios America: The Lefts Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole, and it is predictably horrifying. She appears to have lifted many of her ideas from white nationalists and anti-immigrant extremists and has moved from being a right wing polemicist to openly proselytizing for white supremacy.

But I think its something else she just isnt all that shocking anymore. And the reason is that, after all these years through which she and her fellow right-wing bomb throwers have been poisoning the discourse and polluting our politics with the most egregious dehumanization of just about everyone on the planet who doesnt look and sound like them nobody is listening anymore.
Today, Ann Coulter is just political white noise. Sure, shell sell her books to the small group of people who cant get enough of her bilious humor and hatred but her days of being a mainstream pop culture phenomenon are over. Everybodys heard it all before. Theres almost a whiff of noxious nostalgia about it now.
