Right-wingers will make tempting offers to the left, "Just give us the trans people and the immigrants, and you won't have to lose on all your other positions. Just let them go, don't defend them, don't die on this hill. It's a smart and necessary political sacrifice to make in order to move forward with the rest of your agenda."
It's a lie of course. Every time the left concedes something to fascists, the fascists gain something. You can't smartly surrender yourself to victory.
