Great article but for one thing...how do we fight this and put an end to DIE? Our country is DIEing fast and it’s like no one is really doing anything not even our leaders in DC. Our Repubs in DC are sitting on their hands and saying “We aren’t in charge so there is nothing we can do!”
It is not much comfort in the short term but in the long term DIE carries with it the seeds of its destruction. DIE encourages people to fixate and segregate based on their characteristics. Taken to the extreme, everyone is unique and we are back to the individualism that conservatism encourages.
In the short term, I believe we should find a way to mock DIE. Just as “okay, Boomer” is tacit mockery of my generation, we need a phrase or slogan that mocks DIE. As history shows, mockery is much more powerful that regulation.
