I am not sure what you don't understand about the statement that walking back support is, in fact, walking back support.

Walking back support in one area is walking back support.

It ain't that complex. As soon as concessions are made, the far right demands more because there must always be an enemy to crush completely for the in-group. Who will then pick a new enemy when it comes politically convenient.

That is because "the left" might have a few members that just so happen to be better read and have considered some of Popper's writings.

On such a note, I presume these right-leaning opinions aren't about the virtues of conservative fiscal policy?

There are many right wing views, views that are now sadly becoming more and more mainstream, that should not be tolerated. If right wingers had faced actual consequences when espousing their hatred of minorities, we might not be looking at a US government that wants to cozy up to Putin and distance their long term allies while stripping away the rights of US citizens.

They aren't and, if they were, is that a problem?

Look at what right-wing echo chambers have led to. Look at what the "centrist" internet has led to.

Its 2025 and there are still people on the Fediverse convinced that the problem is the "left". Utterly divorced from reality.
