Fascism thrives when we self-isolate and drive ourselves and each other apart

Too late. We do that to ourselves every election.

Meanwhile, our enemies have no problem voting in unison.

I believe that it's vanishingly rare for it to be "too late" for anyone to change their behavior, on an individual level. If we can recognize the challenge, we can amend our approach and work to bring others into the fold. I'm still grieving as well, but defeatism will only strengthen their position by weakening ours.
