    Tolerance of intolerance breeds intolerance. It’s well past time to be ‘nice’ to Nazi Fascist fucks. No tolerance for bigots.

    This is not the time to be nice. It’s not even the time to be angry.

    Either we do something drastic that would completely take us out of our comfortable chairs and houses, or we watch as democracy and the rule of law gets dismantled, piece-by-piece.

      I agree, but if we let this sentiment bleed over and begin infighting with our allies and accomplices we weaken the coalition we need to fix this. Don’t let them blunt your ability to organize. Fascism thrives when we self-isolate and drive ourselves and each other apart

        Too late. We do that to ourselves every election.

        Meanwhile, our enemies have no problem voting in unison.

          I believe that it’s vanishingly rare for it to be “too late” for anyone to change their behavior, on an individual level. If we can recognize the challenge, we can amend our approach and work to bring others into the fold. I’m still grieving as well, but defeatism will only strengthen their position by weakening ours.
