Democrats can’t seem to kick this habit…I don’t know what you’d call it—-not exactly bipartisanship since that is impossible now, and not both-sides but believing that things that are not based on rational argument really are and you can persuade people who aren’t interested in reasons by using reasons.

Many just do not understand fascism and it sometimes seems beyond their ken though I am encouraged that Biden and a few others are catching on—though they seems to think it all starts and ends with Trump.

I’m curious about your view of a mirrored question: should cable outlets such as MSNBC and CNN allow high-ranking autocracy-loving Repubs to appear on their networks? Not making a “both sides” argument here, because MSNBC, for example, takes a pro-democracy stance. (I’m not so sure about CNN anymore.) I’ve seen Ari Melber interview a Trump ass-kisser or two, and it seems like a pointless exercise.
