She actually was ahead of her time though. She was calling for a revolution of love since many people saw what was going on already back then. Don't forget when she put a swastika on Le Pen's head. At the same time I feel she got blindsided in the end and didn't keep up the message enough.
Yeah... it’s also a case of... it was happening elsewhere, it wasn’t real for the US yet, and we are a bit self absorbed. So the message didn’t necessarily resonate.
its easier to see when its happening somewhere else than in your own home... there was a lot of looney far right stuff happening during obama's term but people just thought it was more of the same, or on the fringes of politics.
