What we are seeing are 1970s style liberals, of whom RFK, Jr. and Kucinich are examples, defecting from the current Democratic Party, which is now dominated by leftist billionaires and woke academics. They were unhappy with the security state of both LBJ and Nixon. In the aftermath of Watergate, liberal Democrats attempted to restrain the intelligence agencies and constrain aggressive foreign policy. However, Clinton, Obama, and Biden have not even paid lip service to that agenda. They have been as pro-intelligence agencies and foreign intervention as the Bushes were. Old style liberals, unless they are sellouts like Bernie Sanders, recognize the departure from the older liberalism and are protesting.

True, but there aren’t that many of them.

For many old liberals and leftists, it’s easier to just fall in line and make Trump the enemy.
