I think that it matters a great deal.
One side wants entire groups to not exist. We have seen that play out, time after time after time. We have seen that carried to the point of concentration camps, and the systematic extermination of entire groups of people.
We know where that road ends, and it ends is more blood than anyone should have the slightest desire to ever see spilled in their lifetime.
The other side might not be perfect, but it isn’t out to exterminate people.
That’s not a small difference. It’s not a subtle difference. It’s the difference between one side thinking that the holocaust didn’t go far enough, didn’t succeed enough, and the other side seeing it as an absolutely horrific event, something so horrible that it should never be allowed to happen again.
And make no mistake, when the far right is literally copying propaganda from the Nazis, and they are, they damn well know what they are doing.
