Because fascism is always hollow and incompetent, which inevitably devolves into a circular firing squad.

This “usually” depends on them eliminating all “others” to blame their incompetence on.

In the essay, Dreher argued that many on the right were displaying what he believed to be ugly qualities that define the modern left: language policing (see: Trump’s renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”); rewriting history (see: a MAGA podcaster’s description of Winston Churchill as the “chief villain” of World War II); and, above all, identity-based politics. Dreher wrote that he saw white Christian men feeling disempowered and advocating for their own racial, gender, and religious interests; he was most disturbed by how often this form of “identity politics” seemed to manifest as aggressive antisemitism.

Woke is a slur to them. Literally the idea of being more aware is so offensive to them they made it hate speech.

A ‘conservative’ can’t even give a definition of the word woke. So… whatever. But getting them to turn on each other is beneficial to the rest of us.

Because they take words and twist their meaning until they’re meaningless insults they throw at whoever they don’t like.

Because they are dishonest assholes?

Dreher calling identity-based politics and rewriting history “leftist qualities” is hilariously delusional.

Because name calling has worked out better over the years than it has any right to?
