"There are three sides to every story" is sophistry.

"There are three sides to every story" is sophistry. There are not always "three sides". Sometimes one side is right and the other is wrong. That is, ostensibly, why we have courts, though the judicial system has been rigged and currently does not function as intended.
The GOP are *wrong*. The fascists are *wrong*. The phobes are *wrong*. There is no "compromise" that isn't collaborating in some way. "You have to tolerate a little evil to get what you want" is bullshit.

"You have to tolerate a little hate." "You have to allow them a little violation of basic human and civil rights." "You have to allow them a little hatred of anything not cishetero white Christian."
Fuck that. No. I will not. I will not "reach across the aisle" to such people. I will not compromise with them.

Anybody whining and moaning about how "if we would only come to an understanding and cooperate" is a collaborator, and a coward. "Oh no, the US is so divided. Both sides! Both sides!" You've drunk their Kool-Aid and obediently gotten out of the way, bowing down.

Neil Peart said it best: "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." You cannot be "neutral". You cannot be "apolitical". You are either antifascist OR YOU ARE A FASCIST.
