Yes, requests for non-fascists to "lower the temperature" is just a nicer way of putting the Heritage Foundation's statement that the revolution will remain bloodless if liberals allow it. It's a demand for acquiescence to the conditions of violence they created.

Seen a lot of comments like “hey Americans who support democracy, oppose political violence, and value truth, we have to take the temperature down,” and while well-intentioned, I don’t think it’ll work, because they’re not the ones raising the temperature.

And I should add, this is a framing that many Southern Republicans embraced themselves, proudly and publicly. When segregationist Bill Dickinson switched to the GOP in Alabama in 1964, he said he left the Democrats to join “the white man’s party” and was elected to the House as a Republican

Declaring people to be vermin, enemies of the state, or un-human is the sort of language people adopt before they pursue a genocide.

Biden uses public power in the public interest. You might have some alternative legal/economic theory of how to achieve the public interest could be served, but Biden is operating according to a principled approach. Trump wants to use public power to solicit political support and attack his enemies.

The state of US politics is if the old guy who supports America’s democratic allies stumbles over his words or flubs names in public appearances, we should dismantle the post-WWII, post-Cold War global security architecture and switch sides in the biggest war of the 21st century.

the country is in a really grim place, and it would be really great if the national conversation were "who's foreign policy do you like" or "wow what great economic ideas the two candidates have, but I prefer this one instead of that one", but alas, that is not where we are
