MODERATORS
By normalizing these behaviours yhu create the moral and political framework in which your opponent thrives. Fascist dont need to win. They can just wait for "Democrats" to dismantle themselves.
Also pretending like the Democratic party isnt big on lying, cheating and stealing too, does not help either. They lost because what they pretended to be and what they really are disparged a lot. The Trumpists are honest about who they are, so they attract the same kind of people, wheras the Dems did everything to alienate people with morals.
And then the Dems turned around and attacked the minorities they pretended to want to protect from Trump, because they didnt suck up to them anymore.
I could not disagree more. They are unashamed about their behavior but they are not honest.
They already thrive, so what's the point of not doing it?
