Yes. This is the Left. I had a funny story from about fifteen years ago, in my work, I would do testing of medical systems, so we had to have test patients we created.
I live in the bluest of blue states, and a woman I worked with was a real, honest-to-goodness professional when it came to devising test plans and executing them.
And she was very much a dyed-in-the-wool liberal. (Note I didn't say Leftists, since I do differentiate them...I view Liberals as part of the Left, but I reserve the term "Leftist" for the real ideological puritans or those useful idiots who would give their all for their Leftist causes)
She knew I was a staunch conservative, and I remember one memorable evening we went out to dinner, and she wanted to know why I was a conservative. I told her that if she was willing to really listen, I would really tell her.
She was, and I did. When I had described my stance on this question, she said I sounded like I had thought it all out (which, was true, over my life to that point, and still is today) and she respected my views.
Anyway, she would make her test patients with names like "California, Robert" or "Louisiana, Cheryl", if she was on the the theme of states. (She used other themes as naming templates for a phase, such as "Badger, William" or "Otter, Susan".) So, back in 2008 we were testing, and one of the patient she created was named "Alaska, Sarah" as a joking nod towards my political leanings.
We had multiple people working with us, and there was one person, a bony, lantern-jawed Irish woman who was a real Leftist believer, not a "Liberal" who might still have an open mind.
So, this Liberal woman and I were talking in her cubicle about our testing, and this skinny Irish woman stomps in and says irritably "What is it with this 'Sarah Alaska' test patient? I am getting sick of seeing it!"
She apparently got the good-natured reference...:)
I looked at her, with what I imagine must have looked like an evil grin, and said "I like seeing that test patient in there. As a matter of fact, I want to see more of it."
Her eyes widened in horror, and she stammered "You're...you're...you're one of THEM!"
It was brilliantly funny to me, the look of dawning horror on her face, this man she had previously thought was a nice, congenial man, had suddenly grown red horns and a tail!
