Too many people aren’t grappling with the fact the GOP is now a radical authoritarian party.

Every pundit continually surprised at the lows Trump’s defenders sink to.

Every progressive who calls a moderate Dem “really a Republican”.

This greatly minimizes the danger we’re in.
Do people honestly think the GOP wants to save themselves from Trump?

Do progressives think we’ll get a Green New Deal if we don’t unite to defeat fascism?

What have Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan or Kevin McCarthy done to make any of that remotely plausible?
It’s the same thing when the press complains about polarization as if it’s a “both sides” problem. The left lost its Dixiecrats and most true centrists. The right is swimming to the deep end. They’ve radicalized.
