The party leadership is adopting that stance because they hate progressive politics more than they hate fascism. The thing is though, Americans are seeing who is out there speaking to them directly and who is actually putting up some kind of fight against the encroachment of fascism and who is just standing by and allowing fascism to spread, or in some instances apparently actually buddying up with fascists. It’s the progressives who are showing that they actually care about the people, while the mainline party leadership sits back and allows Trump to destroy the American state.

More and more Americans are going to have their eyes opened to who exactly is running their party and to whom their allegiances lie–that being the wealthy and powerful, not the people.
