Is the reason the left has gone so whacko and extreme because of Trump?

I know where most stand here on Trump.
Is there a possible connection with the left going so extreme and his entry into politics?

No.

We are nearing the end times and this was going to happen sooner or later.

Trump+COVID+social media has made a decent portion of this country completely insane.

Of course, they were already mentally ill before, but Trump pushed him over the edge. He embarrassed them, which is the worst thing you could do to a leftist.

Going wildly exteme on the fringe normalizes what's happening in the middle.

There is always an ebb an flow, with a general leftward movement for society, but I think having such a symbol to rally against has permitted the left to get 2 leftward cycles in a row, without the typical rightward rection. Clearly they're getting to places that aren't palatable for moderate America, but what the non-Left needs is a cycle without some other rallying point (like Dobbs was in 2022) appearing out of thin air. We would have seen a yuge right-based reaction in 2022 but-for Dobbs.

No, this has been building for some time, and we are not even close to rock bottom.

Trump is their excuse for what they want.

I think Covid gave these losers power for the first time in their life, and then it disappeared almost overnight. Once they had a taste, its all over.

Yes but only because the people getting rich in DC that don’t want any light shed on them have pushed the paid media into working the sheep into a frenzy. I mean just look how bad the virtue signaling cucks were during a fake pandemic. Hell, they have doctors threatening people to take a death sentence vaccine

If it wasn't Trump it would be something else.
None of those crazies hates Trump before he entered politics, most probably tuned in weekly to watch his tv show! It's not Trump they hate, it's what he represents. Who and what does Trump represent? Those of us supporting America first ideas.
Remember Hillary and Biden's opinion of us, deplorable and the biggest threat to America.
The left is an ideology, a religion and they hate anything which opposes them.

I would be content almost worn out by this all personally with just a guy in the just right of center. I really would be good with that currently. Move on from this don’t give them a damn target. Go about this stuff in other ways maybe local government would help us a lot.

The left has been on this path for some time. The Paul Wellstone memorial was a good foreshadowing of what the left has become.

It really started in earnest during W Bush, after Clinton purged the party of all non-hard left liberals. That's also when the media cast aside all illusions of impartiality.

No

They are like this against any subject of the Two Minute Hate such as W or Sarah Palin.

It just gets increasingly unhinged with regards to Trump because he is able to keep on trucking in spite of them.

They were whacked before Trump. The second they had any resistance to their insanity, they went full petulant child.


Now we’re left looking for the petulant child’s parents, which SURPRISE are no where to be found.

Clinton bled off a lot of Blue Dogs but that may not have been intentional as much as the failures of Hillary et all going hard left now that they won.

Obama and Pelosi? THAT was intentionally turfing the non-fringe elements.

Anyone who dared to beat the "chosen one" in 2016 would have caused it. The fact that Trump is the first individual in a very long time who not only gives absolutely no fricks about making the left and mainstream press happy but also throws it in their faces exacerbated it.

I don't think most people realize how radical Obama wanted to be during his term. Remember, they thought Hillary had it in the bag. They didn't expect her to get such backlash and for Trump to be so strong in 2016. The debate where Trump told the world he uses the same tax breaks as every one of the candidate's donors and he knows they won't change shite was the night he set the left's arse on fire.
