    Yes, this is the danger of fascism playing with language.

    They aren’t trying to be logical or fair. They aren’t here for debate. They’re here to do what they want to do, period.

    Which is why they also inevitably fall apart, (eventually) they can’t even have that conversation internal to the movement and agree on what it is they want to do.

      It’s more than that. It’s a power dynamic.

      At some point you need a large group of people in positions of power supporting a policy in order to enact it.

      Even reducing this down to liberal v conservative, you’re not going to find a political body favorable to liberals when it is stacked with conservatives.
