To minimize that reality is to surrender our own humanity, and to fail to stand up for the founding principles any just, humane, and accepetable society should stand for. Furthermore you don't get to decide when the bad guys declare war on you and everything you believe in, and trust me, that's exactly what the fascists have done.
To dismiss this existential battle that literally means life and death for so many people in our society who did nothing more than "exist" is to surrender to fascism.
