Where did you hear that they were advertised negatively?
I’m referencing the Left’s attitude/reaction.
Essentially, if I knew nothing else: knowing how strongly the Nothing-Remains-of-the-old-Far-Left-is-Extreme-to-Us-Anymore Left is opposed to something makes me less likely to see them negatively as those Leftists do.
Likewise, whatever the whackadoodle Left approves of garners my suspicions for that reason alone.
That isn’t the same as saying I advocate knowing nothing beyond what the likes of DNC types approve of or disapprove of, even a broken clock meant to keep military time can be right once a day, but it does mean I find their value judgments so fundamentally flawed that I react accordingly.
