The point about minority views no longer being able to take over is a scary one. There has been a great amount of social progress in the past several decades, and that sort of progress wouldn't be possible under the effects of strong social cooling.

White supremacy is a minority view in the US and seems to have gained huge amounts of traction in spite of these believed effects. White supremacists have lost jobs for being caught out attending rallies; it doesn't seem to stop the rallies.

Calling people you disagree with "white supremacists" has certainly gained ground.

But people self identifying as such are extremely rare.

Many non-identifying white supremacists have white supremacist adjacent ideals such as xenophobia.

It's very hard to support with a straight face that the acceptance of the confederate flag in the south does not have racial overtones.

Acceptance of the confederate flag has definitely decreased a lot the last half century.

So if that's your measure, white supremacy is not doing well at all.

Strawman, but no, it isn't my only measure.
