‘If the left hadn’t burnt the dinner, the right wouldn’t have hit them.’ We brought this on by not being perfect.
Fuck that. Fascism does not ask permission. It actively foments and exploits any weakness, like a predator, then gaslights you into thinking it’s your fault.
Could the left do better? Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean we deserve the fascism that’s been testing the fences like velociraptors for decades, eroding education and the media, sowing misinformation, conspiracy, and discord, and cultivating mistrust and apathy on a scale never before seen.
They need us to blame ourselves, to stay divided, and to point our fingers everywhere but at them. We need to stop making excuses for them.
