Abstract: Denial of the existence of Coronavirus, a distinct position from respectable critiques of lockdowns and extensions of vaccine rollouts, might be dismissed as unreasonable. Notwithstanding this, arguments that right-populist attitudes are unreasonable have clear limits, failing to appreciate the functions of right-populist views. For example, opposition to immigration promotes continuity of local conditions, low-education voters valuing this. If we are to understand the appeal of right-populist positions and decide whether certain positions should be excluded from public debate, we must establish the limits of reasonable debate.
