But that's the thing things have changed, the majority of people now disagree with racial segregation, blaming women for being raped etc. and that is a good thing. The thing is people voted for Trump because they want the old times back where "a n* knew their place". There is a reason why the majority of his supporters are significantly over 50. However, it is an illusion that people were not feeling consequences for expressing certain views (or even being suspected of it), just think of Mccarthy or the outrage on Fox if somebody criticises "our troops". The only thing that changed is that now it's also so called "conservatives" (I would call many of the right wing activists) who face this, together with the amplification allowed by social media and peoples (on all sides of the spectrum) desire to somehow feel like a victim.
