Bigots are always a small group with outsized volume. Just like mal-adjusted chihuahuas. And like chihuahuas suffering ‘little dog syndrome’, when they try to bite, they can be punted across the room with prejudice.

(Note that I do not condone kicking small, obnoxious dogs. That was a joke. I do condone kicking fascists, however.)

This is a weird claim. Being bigoted has clearly been the majority opinion for almost all of human history. That's why it has been a problem, because they have had serious power and they have used it.

Bigots being in the minority would mean that the problem has largely gone away.

Except now they're desperate, so each bigot is a bigger problem than they used to be.

Does not follow.
