(58,785 posts)left. Most are claiming to be socialists or just anti-capitalism in this era. Since almost no one is interested in whatever "revolution" they're espousing, though, democracy doesn't work for them. As LW extremists have done in many other nations, they instead look for other ways to overset majority rule.
THOSE are the ones I'm talking about. They're very real. Their culpability for the dreadful catastrophe of 2016 was very real in a number of ways, including massive disinformation campaigns, embracing Russia's assistance, trying to create a "Dexit" movement, and for some even voting directly for Trump.
The potential danger that they could unite with the hostile right, as has happened in many nations to overset representative governments there, is also very real. Those who did in 2016 were a small but significant part of the RW victories.
No matter how they try to hide from scrutiny among the Democratic mainstream, as in 2016, activities far more focused on defeating Democrats than Republicans identify them.
