I don't think it wise to dismiss the small number of people saying the quiet part out loud. Understanding the mechanisms in which they launder these ideas is critical to preventing further harm. I think a nuanced discussion can be had about it here.

There's a significant amount of right wing discourse that wants to paint their detractors as schizophrenic and paranoid. It intimidates leftists into either being silent or simply avoid the discussion altogether, which just cedes that space to the right.
