The right engages in its own form of dehumanizing rhetoric -- usually scapegoating the powerless -- but the new "radical liberal" belief that half the country is Nazis has a major impact on national political narratives, given how influential people like TJ are in activism/media

How can you expect to have a functional society or political system when you cast millions and millions of fellow citizens as intrinsically evil in these kinds of rigid, absolutist terms? How do you persuade anyone of anything? The power analysis on display here is totally warped

It's almost like it's all a narrative to provoke civil unrest or something so the democrats can run on bringing peace and stability back.

And if you dare question the government narrative, you will be smeared as a Putin stooge or an Assad apologist. Interesting times...

But if he says it enough times then everybody will fall in line in accordance with his imaginary parameters and finally come to their senses.

It’s the false binary they keep peddling but no one with any intellect is buying.

Or maybe it's all a way of pushing people to get caught up in talking about political parties instead of the people paying them. Parties are not the ones who have decided to mine every resource in this and every other country for a few more dollars of profit.

If you want to talk about fascism, racism, pitting groups against each other, then talk about the privileged elites who create all of it to consolidate power. Don't get lost in their head games.

You know what else is bad for social cohesion? Rounding up asylum seekers and putting them in horribly inhumane conditions (concentrated in camps, one might even say)

If only it were just that rhetoric. Every point of contact he makes with the cultural orthodoxy will reinforce his belief. As per the data, the orthodoxy is radicalized.https://twitter.com/JohnFMiller86/status/1147130392555610112 …

Agree with you on a lot of things, Michael. But, to mix metaphors, I think you’re paddling up the wrong creek without a paddle on this one — to limit the term “concentration camp” to its association with nazis is to ignore a lot of history

Yeah, but that's just kind of human nature, most notorious example wins. Ghandi was also an ethnic nationalist, perhaps even a national socialist, but the insane excess of the Nazis means that they get ownership of that label instead.
