Michael Flynn, and Trump’s lasting elevation of the fringe

Bundy, today, is ramping up for a run for the GOP nomination for governor of Idaho. It’s a campaign for which he’s struggling to qualify for the ballot and which he’d surely struggle to win. But as the Daily Beast reported Thursday, it’s easy to undersell the implications of such a campaign in today’s environment, given the reach of ideologies like Bundy’s in the West and his storming of the Idaho Capitol last summer, which turned out to be something of a precursor to Jan. 6. And Trump, again, fed into such things more than other presidents would have.
