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.

I see. You meant vaguely plausible as in not stupid enough that John Q. Public can see right through it.

Indeed. Which I appreciate varies depending on where you are according to the lowest common denominator. No offence but the American public can be frighteningly stupid at the shallow end of the gene pool.
