Will Bunch expresses what I’ve been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don’t support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.
Agreed, when you can look and see one side has the support of the KKK, Proud Boys, and the 3%ers on top of chanting “Jews will not replace us” and dubbed “very fine people” by the leader of said party. And on top of that they also have those that believe in Jewish space lasers, lizard people, and pedophiles everywhere drinking children’s blood. They believe in the “attack on Christmas” and Jews bringing Armageddon where they will all be saved.
If you can look at any of that and be like, “well the other side…” then you have chosen a side already, and it’s not center. It’s probably also time for some self reflection if that isn’t who you are.
