Allow us to now begin to share just some of the things we have been collecting for years in anticipation of this moment.

Let's begin with MAGA life coach Brenden Dilley, brimming with confidence the day before the election as he predicted a 45 state landslide for Trump.
And here is Dilley guaranteeing that Democrats "are going to get their asses kicked on Nov. 3"
And here is Dilley boldly predicting that the election would be called on Election Night before the polls even closed in California because "Joe Biden cannot beat Donald J. Trump."

This is partly what makes it impossible to have a constructive conversation nowadays. The stubborn refusal to accept that opposition to Trumpism and GOP nationalism is about more than simply holding different beliefs about things in and of itself. 👇


It's fine for people to hold different beliefs. But that doesn't mean all beliefs deserve equal treatment or tolerance and it doesn't mean intolerance of some beliefs makes a person intolerant of every belief which they don't share.

So if I said I don't think Trumpism deserves to be tolerated because it's just a fresh 21st century coat of cheap paint on a failed, dangerous 20th century ideology (fascism) that doesn't mean I'm intolerant of all beliefs with which I disagree. You'd think this would be obvious.

Another important facet. People who support fascist movements tend to give what they think are valid reasons for supporting them. That doesn't mean anyone is obliged to tolerate fascism or accept their proffered excuse.


Say you joined a neighborhood group that sets up community gardens and does roadside beautification projects. All good, right? Say one day you're having a meeting and you notice the President and exec board of this group are saying some bizarre things about certain neighbors.
