- Darby does not soft-pedal any of the horrific views and actions of the people she profiles. She labels things racist when they are - no "racially tinged" language here - and often debunks her subjects' claims right after quoting them.
- Contains a lot of discussion about the types of people drawn to conspiracy theories and white nationalism along with how these ideas spread and why certain people latch onto them.
- Darby also breaks down why people stay in the hate movement. These women are primarily looking for a place where they can feel like they belong and be heard - some were even self-proclaimed, vocal feminists in past years. The ability to be openly racist is often just a bonus for them - they join and stay because they are seeking community and validation, and this movement answered the call.
- This is a really close look at the two ways white women are used to promote hate: with the idea that we must protect white women from dangerous non-white men and also with the idea that these people can't be all that bad if those nice moms are part of their group, right?
- There were a few aspects of these womens' lives I wish had been explored just a little more, but on the other hand this was certainly a close enough look for me, now I'm going to go scream for a bit, bye!
