<div class="">In a similar way, Trump’s extremely racist and
horrid remarks are now making anyone who doesn’t want to throw

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window</a><br>

position than the one wanted, so that it has a decent chance of
being in the window.<br>
