I agree with the sentiment, but I don’t know that it really does a whole lot of good to say it. They say the same thing about Democrats. As Huxley feared, the truth gets drowned in a sea of irrelevance, and ultimately everyone just believes whatever they want to believe. I have a Facebook friend (that I’ve debated unfriending) that posts almost everyday a rant in which he lays out a good ten or fifteen major things the “liberal mainstream media” supposedly lied about and asks how we can believe them about anything anymore.

The reason Fascism was normalized in America is because everyone was afraid to acknowledge how insane the Republican Party and right-wing media was becoming. We all just tried playing nice and acting like Republicans and Democrats just had some disagreements. We should have condemned the Republicans as Fascists much sooner.
