Striking trajectory for the editors of National Review on white supremacist massacres. After El Paso: Authorities should treat this as a threat on par with militant Islam, all Americans should help root out "this awful ideology"
After Buffalo: Suspect believed in replacement "conspiracy theory" but Democrats are politicizing the event, Capitol rioters have been unfairly described as "white-supremacist" (the only use of the term in the piece), Biden won't condemn black racists.

This was my take on the El Paso editorial at the time -- what follows from that is apparently that they give up.
In 2019, the editors of National Review were willing to explicitly describe someone who called immigration an "invasion" geared at "cultural and ethnic replacement" a "white supremacist." In 2022 they are not. That is not a good trend.
Seems like @jonathanchait bait.
