Did we already forget the almost overnight shift in what was seen as acceptable discourse once Trump won in 2016? All these intolerant and hateful assholes crawled out and felt emboldened to chirp christofascist/racist/delusional conspiracies in public and online spaces. And that zeitgeist shift pulled the Overton Window sharply to the right, paving the road for our current situation.

If someone’s basic political ideology is “government should industrialize state murder of X group/s” they are not someone I can make common cause or find sympathetic arguments with, or not without a lot of cult de-programming first.
