Summary

Democrats’ calls for unity are futile as Republicans, driven by fascist ideology, seek to suppress differences and maintain power through fear-mongering.

The Republican National Convention showcased this with chants of “fight fight fight” and speeches that vilified perceived enemies.

Trump and his supporters use “unity” as a euphemism for conformity, expecting marginalized groups to suppress their identities.

MAGA’s reliance on “enemies” fuels a cycle of manufactured outrage, and warns that Democrats’ calls for civility may inadvertently enable fascist tactics.

    Wait, what do you expect the democrats to do? Start a civil war? Surrender and disappear?

    I assume they are trying their best to do damage control - and to prevent the destruction of democracy with the tools they have left. Which is not much.
