    We should worry about the Right after we get the Left into some semblance of coherence and rationality. Liberals and Leftists should be natural allies against the fascists. Instead we got the Leftists knifing the Liberals in the back this election.

    That might be fixable. Compromise between Left and Liberals is plausible. The Right, on the other hand, is not at all tethered to reality. There is no reasoning or compromise with them. They are in full-on batshit wackadoodle land. Addressing them will require something a lot more radical than “convincing”.

      So you’re going to punch left until they agree with your bigotry and never get around to punching right.

          Currently? As though it’s not the only thing you do.

              You think anyone to your left is stupid and admire everyone to your right.

              Abuse is the centrist substitute for defensible ideas.

                Not anyone to my left. Just anyone dumb enough to enable fascism by rejecting an alliance (even of convenience!) with liberals.

                  So anyone who doesn’t mindlessly fall in line and support everything you do.

                  You don’t want an alliance. You want servility. I get why you’re so frustrated. You don’t see why servility isn’t as easy for everyone else as it is for you.

                    And now we’re at the part where you start making up shit and claiming I say it. Cool cool cool. I think it’s nice we usually get 2 or 3 honest exchanges in before you remember your propaganda mission. I’ve missed that.
