A few on the left reacting with forceful rhetoric to this stuff dies not mean the left is creating this breakdown of the peaceful social order.

Is that your final answer? I find your projecting by accusing them of projecting comical. You can find examples of bad behavior in all camps if you look hard enough. But the author is pointing out something that is everywhere in plain sight. Why do you think Cynthia Johnson is in the pickle she's in?
And how about that constant drumbeat of impeachment and the Russiagate fiasco? And the riots. And the looting. and the etc., etc., etc.?
That's actually the point of the article. It's being taken to the next level and has been going through levels for a while now. And history tells us where it's headed. Remember, Nazi's didn't start their power grab by gassing jews. That came a decade later. First they had to dehumanize them.
I love JOJO Rabbit. Great movie, BTW.
The most important warning to the right in the article is to conservatives that we don't play the dehumanizing card against the left. This is one reason I cut the left so much slack. They are mostly just kids that will grow out of it. However, when kids become dangerous, well, adults can become dangerous to the kids. But in a land of law and order neither will happen to any significant degree.
