You're not required to do anything. Consider though that if you refuse to see the good in people you disagree with, you have little room to complain when they refuse to see the good in you.

I'll happily do that for the guy who cuts me off in traffic.

One of the fascists that is destroying my country? Fuck no, no consideration for them.

There's a lot of overlap between those two groups. Half of the country voted for Trump in the last election, a few of them are probably your neighbors. They control the presidency and a majority in the house and senate. You better hope they don't all decide they feel the same way about you that you apparently do about them.

		The largest share of the eligible voting population was the 'did not vote' group. I'm OK with calling fascists what they are. I'm also OK with recognizing a neighbor who has been consumed by fascist propaganda. The fascist is not one that can be negotiated with. As Sartre said: "They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words." I can negotiate with the propaganda poisoned neighbor. There is no negotiating with the people who are running the fascist show. Giving a fascist the benefit of the doubt is playing into their strategy.
