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

Could be.

I felt pretty strongly during the 2020 campaign that the Democrats put Biden up as a sacrificial kind of Walter Mondale-type candidate. That they were going to try to win, but that they didn't really expect to.

When they did, I felt like they pushed the most extreme agenda possible because Biden doesn't have the mental capacity to understand that he would be almost assuredly a one-and-done with such an agenda (which he, of course, didn't come up with...his handlers did).

Now that they've goaded the right into again nominating the weakest R candidate possible, they smell blood in the water. It's one thing to find $20 you didn't expect to find. It's another to lose $20 you already have.

I think that's why they instituted the selective prosecution cases. On one hand, Biden has already beaten Trump once. On the other, they put Biden up to a radical-arse second-term agenda in his first term, not thinking he'd be in a position to win another one. The selective prosecution is their attempt at an equalizer.

And I know nobody around here wants to hear it, but if Trump gets convicted of one or more felonies, it might work.
