Animosity and scapegoating of minority populations and immigrants that emboldens white supremacists to start doing college tours, unsanctioned rallies, and calls for mass deportations and extermination. Getting right wing entertainers to push their narrative behind dog whistles on the radio, internet, and on TV.
All of those examples are just in the US, and have happened in just the last 36 months.
Look at the rise of the EDL and the evolution of the BNP in England. Look at the National Front in France. Their language, their policies for minority populations and immigrants. It's all over the western world, and it is all being exacerbated by the largest cyber war in the history of humankind instigated by a conservative autocrat in Russia.
