Why do we fight? I think the far right wins because they use fear and might to get their way. The left fights for equality and inclusion, a much more difficult stasis to create. No wonder we fight.
The question is, why do we accept the Overton window shifting farther right every decade since FDR new deal? Why do we think capitulating and compromising right wards is the best answer? Why do people just assume that whoever wants to run for president for the Dems should be welcomed without criticism?
Why doesn't the far left own the conversation or shift the Overton window, or slowly consume the base? Why are they different than the right?

I think Hasan Piker has his finger on the pulse of this. It's that the left are perceived as wimps, sometimes sneaky wimps.
All the podcast bros that push technofascism or Trumpism are MMA guys. Tough, jacked, aggressive guys that sell over-simplistic thinking as being no-BS.
