I don't understand why the Left hasn't deployed "Don't Tread on Me" flags, or not talking about "2nd Amendment Solutions" and other language of the Right. Put it in terms they understand.

The far right (fascists) were always going to love what brought them power.

Since their lust for power is insatiable, be afraid.

Are they so far gone that they don't recognize their own language? Can't see the connection?

Yes.

Or maybe they just don't care about the hypocrisy.

Conservatives have never had ideals. It has always been that they will spout whatever argument they can find that provides cover for their racism and blatant self interest.

And now that those same arguments are inconvenient, they have completely abandoned them.
