Gwen Snyder is uncivil
If you spend a lot of time on Twitter and you have a sense of unmooredness after the last week of Twitter/Elon news, you're not alone.
If it reminds you of news from 2016-2021, you're not alone.
This is what it looks like when fascists are in charge.
This is how they operate.

They throw out ten outrages at once.
The mildest one is the one they want, the rest are distractions.
We bat away eight or so outrages, and we're left with only one or two terrible things left on our plate.
And it feels like a defensive victory.
But of course it isn't.

The only way to deal with a fascist is to drop the assumption of good faith.
You know what they want: to harm vulnerable people, one way or another.
So you don't give an inch.
You call their disingenuous little acts faking civility and reason out for the bullshit they are.

You leave, you shout them down, you counter them, you mock them.
But you never engage them in good faith.
Folks are learning this firsthand with Elon, but it's always true with fascists.
Always.
