The only quibble I have is that the article he refers to as being in "the conservative media" is on a website called "American Greatness" which I have never heard of. Nor have I heard of the author.
Nonetheless, the sentiment is very popular in wingnut land - and it is true, the current state of the American Right is full of paranoia and conspiracy ideation about the Left, and this has been building up over many years with top Republicans (and all but a handful of right wing commentators) declining to call it out as harmful and wrong. It gets the base motivated, so why stop it. Not to mention the money that media people can make out of the devotion of cult conspiracy belief.
