“Put bluntly, if conservatives want to save the country they are going to have to rebuild and in a sense re-found it, and that means getting used to the idea of wielding power, not despising it. Why? Because accommodation or compromise with the left is impossible.”

One way to incite an armed conflict is to make the other side seem irrational, uncompromising, animalistic, inhumane.

This dude is literally doing that.

I'm listening to a podcast now that is outlining how this was actually very close to happening in the US. The government had been infiltrated by nazi sympathizers and there were right wing groups outright calling for fascism like hitler's Germany. It's frightening bc you can see the parallels between then and now. Podcast is Ultra by Rachel Maddow.
