"I think it's important to note that the things that fascists cannot do are not things that they are incapable of; they are simply things which, the more a person did them, the more that person would cease being fascist and would start becoming something better.
If we do these things ourselves, it creates a new atmosphere, which makes it more possible (if still unlikely) that others might leave fascism's grim picture and enter a new and better frame.
They can leave fascism, you know.
It's possible.
A lot of people are going to be terribly harmed by this thing they voted for, and a lot of them did it out of ignorance, which is easier to escape than indifference; and even indifference is easier to escape than active malice.
Because we are committed to seeing things as they are, we must maintain boundaries [...] — not because we are interested in isolation and shunning, but because ** a space cannot be safe if it admits a person who means to bring harm. **
[...] Fascists are unlikely to change no matter how badly they are harmed, because they would then have to lose supremacy's unnatural advantages, and pay the costs [...] of what they have done.
[...] If any do start to move back toward our shared humanity, we should be ready to do another thing fascists cannot, which is to recognize positive progress and celebrate it.
And we can show how it is done by doing it ourselves."
