A lot of seemingly reasonable people are talking in silky tones about the importance of “unity” and “compromise” and “empathy” right now. But you don’t pull yourself out of quicksand by agreeing to leave one foot in the muck. There is no middle ground between equality and racism, or women’s humanity and women’s subjugation. Don’t let the rightwing erosion of language shake your instincts. Reject false equivalencies.
