Some people need a narrative. Need. Cannot fucking move without one.
Assuming we get another election, the opposition to ‘we’re gonna murder the outgroup and it’ll bring your grandma back to life’ had goddamn well better promise something besides ‘we’re not them.’ Doesn’t matter what!

Even if it’s the same dull neoliberal bullshit, you can just say it’ll make your dick bigger, and a significant chunk of the population will suddenly defend your actual argument.
