Stop Divisive Rhetoric Against Patriotic Citizens
It unfairly vilifies ordinary people and fuels an atmosphere where violence against them can be excused or encouraged. Patriotism is not extremism. Branding law-abiding citizens as “fascists,” “racists” or “far right” does not reduce radicalism, it risks inciting it.
