There is a lesson here for the Democrats. If you act Republican light, people will go for the real thing. Don't build a fucking wall, don't stand by and continue to allow the genocide in Palestine. This is what the layman calls authenticity, they know the right is awful, they hear them say it and they can parse it. What they don't like is feeling like they were deceived. Especially people that keep voting for you because they know the other side is fascist.

The non communal (i.e. Non Hindu-fascist, totalitarian) political parties kept warning people of the riot wing agenda and when in power they didn't do enough (enough) to meaningfully change the circumstances. Later on the fascists (BJP and its ideological allies) became invincible because people didn't trust the 'boy who called wolf' (the boy was right each time, in this case the wolf would don sheep's clothing when people showed up). It no longer matters to the people that the BJP are the wolf.
