My problem is that there is massive pushback - but only against left. Right keeps getting excused, euphemized away, explained and "they do not mean it".

And what double annoys me that any centrist or leftist who correctly described what right wants and plans ended up labeled extreme left and dismissed. Except they were all right it turned out. I mean, I used to dismiss them too, but eventually figured the situation few years ago.



That’s what cults do.

Cultivate in-group bias so that any dissenting opinion are from people not in the know or who can’t be trusted.

Works every time.


Yeah, I been watching it devolve bit by bit pretty near my entire life (at least the "aware" years of it). It's been pretty sad how mentioning it at all has (until recently) been met with derision and ridicule. "You're just being paranoid." Umm... No? I'm paying attention to the reality in front of me? "Paranoid" would be if there were no basis in reality for my concerns.
