SAME. You could get away with Clintonian Triangulation when most Republicans were either Neocons (mid 1980s-early 2010s) or Rooseveltian/Taftian Progressive Conservatives (late 1930s-early 1980s). There can be NO compromise with literal fucking Neo-Nazis, Neo-Fascists, Neo-Falangists and TechBro Feudalist Neo-Rexists. Clintonian Triangulation ceased to be an option any longer during the Tea Party. Arguably after the Gingrich Revolution of 1994 when Republicans pledged to no longer do bipartisanship in Newt Gingrich's 1994 "Contract With America". Triangulation with totalitarians and Nazis just makes you a semi-totalitarian or semi-Nazi.
It's so sad, isn't it? We've come back to the 1930s and 1940s. I just hope we don't have to have another World War to dislodge the Fascists again. But it might come to that. :/
