Play nice now?

In the wake of the assassination attempt everyone is saying we have to tone down the rhetoric now. The liberals have been accused of inciting the attempt with their rhetoric of fascism. Instead we now need to be civil with each other and talk out our minor differences for the sake of unity.

But how can you have a civil conversation with those who want to destroy democracy and institute fascism? Project 2025, along with red states destroying the voting rights of their opposition based on proven lies about fraud, confirms the reality of that claim. To play nice with that is to surrender to it. We must instead peacefully yet adamantly fight against it. And accurately calling it what it is is prerequisite to defeating it.
