Article started off with the traditional lie. Liberalism is dead in the US. The “left” has been taken over, dictated to, by the woke arseholes.
This was easy for them since at their hearts the Demo party is filled to overflowing with bullies — people who think back fondly of how their ancestors owned slaves and was able to just go out and beat someone if they had a bad hair day.
Bullies pick on others who are weaker (e.g., kiddies, minorities, women, etc.). The only way to defeat a bully is to pop them and show them to be the cowards they are.
No one on the left is willing to do that. No one on the “new left” has any interest in that since THEY are the source of all that envy and hatred.
Liberalism ended in USA when Obama became President in USA.
Before Obama, Leftists/Communists were one of the factions in the Democratic Party but they did not take over the party yet.
