      It’s not subjunctive it’s a fuckin metaphor.

      We have a chance to stop the Nazis in this situation before they even become full power Nazis.

      I’m using a historical event as a reference point for what happens when a marginalized group is openly oppressed and no one does anything about it. The oppressor becomes emboldened by the lack of response and takes it as a sign that they’re not in the wrong.

        Now imagine if

        Looks like a subjunctive mood.

        The oppressor becomes emboldened by the lack of response and takes it as a sign that they’re not in the wrong.

        And that’s why you want to be so aggressive toward centrists?
