    weeks ahead of the news

    Nothing has made me feel like a Cassandra more than when everyone was :shocked-pikachu: when the insurrection happened on Jan 6th. They'd been planning that in the open for weeks, if not months!

    expecting everyone you argue with is doing so in bad faith

    Not everyone, just fascists/white supremacists. Socdems, libs, and cons can be argued with. But don't platform fascists: protest them and keep them off your streets.

    “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” -- Sartre
