(58,785 posts)about subversive ANTI-Democrats who call themselves progressive to hide among genuine progressive Dems. LW radicalism and extremism draws very little support, so they trick people into confusing them with Democratic progressives to disguise their hostile goals and to seem far more numerous than they are.
Remember, these non-Democrats deliberately threw progressivism, and all its noble goals, under the Republican bus in 2016 by lying about Democrats every bit as viciously as Republicans, refusing to vote Democratic, and encouraging people to vote against Democratic candidates.
It worked.
And greatly encouraged by their and the Republican Party's successes, the ANTI-Democratic left believes further Republican successes will destroy the Democratic Party for them.
