I'm not sure I think "just cave in" is a realistic solution to polarization. That doesn't actually solve anything it just creates more resentment.
In terms of demonization, I think its fair to use words like racist, sexist, and fascist when they are accurate descriptions. Before the Trump administration I was opposed to using those terms because I didn't feel that it was clear that they were accurate. However, I do think they are accurate now.
In my opinion, Nazi is only a reasonable term when the person is actually advocating for Nazism which, other than actual Neo-Nazis, is very rare. The only example I can think of where it might be valid was when Trump said that there were good people on both sides of a Neo-Nazi rally.
- burfog 7y agoYou've been misled if you think it was a "Neo-Nazi rally". It was not, though a few such people did show up and cause trouble. Trump actually condemned the neo-Nazis and white nationalists. See his "fine people on both sides" comment with more context: https://i.imgur.com/xKKdnkP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xKKdnkP.jpg Clearly you need to find a different news source. I suggest OANN if you'd like a cable news network (also available via an app) with very factual reporting.
