quote [ The recipe is universal. Find a wound common to many, someone to blame for it and a good story to tell. Mix it all together. Tell the wounded you know how they feel. That you found the bad guys. Label them: the minorities, the politicians, the businessmen. Cartoon them. As vermin, evil masterminds, flavourless hipsters, you name it. Then paint yourself as the saviour. Capture their imagination. Forget about policies and plans, just enrapture them with a good story. One that starts in anger and ends in vengeance. A vengeance they can participate in. ]

Twice.
You will not win a race to the bottom identity politics off. You can't. We are the party of coalition. They have a single demographic they need to give a shit about, and that demographic has the power right now, AND the ability if they wished, to ensure they hold on to it.
You want to fight fascist? Start by not fighting each other.
"Only one thing could have stopped our movement – if our adversaries had understood its principle and from the first day smashed with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement." -Hitler on how he played his opposition off each other.
