When you push the “weird and crazy” narrative over the authoritarian one, then you paper over the danger they pose. This happens all the time when white men go on shooting rampages - “Oh, they were mentally ill”… Bullshit. They were pumped up on dangerous ideologies and believed that killing people was okay because it’s “cleansing” the world of “filth”.
We need to stop acting like these are still some fringe group and start calling them what they are: fascists. As long as we give them a pass, the media is going to take it. We are on the brink right now and they are starting to win.
