I don’t disagree with you that this is a potential motive. I just also feel that if we as the “reasonable” left see these motives in everyone and everything that (for whatever correlative reason) elicits right wing talking points we’re just solidifying the division that prevents us from finding common ground on pretty much anything besides Israel these days.

There is plenty evidence for this person being completely in their own bubble. They lost their job, now they’re doubling down on whatever cuckoo world view they managed to craft for themselves up to that point. My point being that while we’re definitely not obligated to understand or extend an olive branch as they say, we must never fail to see the humanity in others, whether allied or opposed.

There is no humanity in terms like The Daily Wire or Fox News, so once we draw that connection we automatically dehumanize actual real life human beings, which then puts us exactly on the same level as “them” if you get what I’m saying. They call us fascist marxists (whatever that means) and we call them Fox News bootlickers. Rinse and repeat.
