After getting their asses kicked in an election, most political parties take stock and modify their message to appeal to a broader range of the electorate. And that's sort of what the GOP is doing right now. Instead of whipping up white nationalist hysteria over a nonexistent immigration "crisis," they're whipping up hysteria over a nonexistent infanticide "crisis."

But how long will it last? Two years is a long time to spew lies about abortion and the news cycle moves on very quickly. After the right's 24 hour ragegasm, Governor Northam and the fake outrage the right whipped up faded from the headlines outside of the Fox News bubble, relegated to the opinion section. And while the hate machine of the right is happy to take on the misogyny of forcing women to give birth against their will, that pales in comparison to the thrill of raging against brown skin.
