MAGA won't let us "bring down the temperature"
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.

It was definitely advertently
Weren't the Democrats the ones calling this election "the only way to save democracy?" Wasn't Donald Trump a fascist who was going to destroy the country and kill people? And now we need to "bring down the temperature?"
Either they were lying before, or they're lying now.
You are a fool if you can’t see the difference between “vote for our candidate to save democracy” and “we need to use the military against our enemies from within”.
Either you’re arguing in bad faith comrade, or you’re one of the useful idiots that helped Trump get into office.
Who was the party threatening to use the military on their opposition? The democrats don't have faith this will work, their only hope to avoid a night of long knives is to pray they were wrong. I don't think they were though
Exactly. We heard this rhetoric for years and it's like "OK and... you're just going to run Biden's animated corpse against him?"
You can swap out Dem and Republican in the summary and it still holds true.
Trump and his supporters use “unity” as a euphemism for conformity, expecting marginalized groups to suppress their identities.
How do dems manage that one?
Also not sure how dems enable fascist tactics, when one person-one vote is a primary platform position.
