Sometimes, like today, my buddy Dave ‘really nails it’.

 Trump proved to the GOP and the Oligarchy that open bigotry, outlandish victimization narratives and Big Lies work like a charm in 21st century America.  Now every right-wing media outlet and hate radio show works furiously to out-compete their rivals in viciously demonizing anyone outside the Trump Tribe as existentially “the Other”.  We’re not liberals or progressives.  We’re “Communists”, “radicals”, “Marxists” and “nihilists” – who “hate America” and are out to “destroy America”.  And we (“the Other”) Must Be Stopped at any cost.

 

This level of white-hot rhetoric on the Right makes McCarthyism look tame by comparison.  We (who are not True Believers in Our Lord and Savior Trump) are being repeatedly demonized and de-humanized 24/7/365 in the Fox (and Newsmax, OAN, Breitbart, TownHall and hate radio) alternative reality bubble.
