Summary
Democrats’ calls for unity are futile as Republicans, driven by fascist ideology, seek to suppress differences and maintain power through fear-mongering.
The Republican National Convention showcased this with chants of “fight fight fight” and speeches that vilified perceived enemies.
Trump and his supporters use “unity” as a euphemism for conformity, expecting marginalized groups to suppress their identities.
MAGA’s reliance on “enemies” fuels a cycle of manufactured outrage, and warns that Democrats’ calls for civility may inadvertently enable fascist tactics.
And then after the election we need to “bring down the temperature.”
Either they’re an existential threat to democracy or they’re not. If they are Democrats should start acting like it.
Liberals are just waiting for a big, strong man to come and save them.
