For example?

Riketto s conscious rocks , = Batshit crazy and harmless. Fun even.

Anti-vaxxer logic = plausible and sciency sounding enough that the scared and uninitiated might just believe it. Dangerous.

The kkk, Batshit crazy racists, will never hold any political power. As an organisation attempting to affect societal change, harmless.

The GOP, closet racists, hide it just well enough to make people think it's not actually racism. Dangerous.
