The entire French revolution was a phenomenon of the Left. It’s where we get the terminology of Left/Right. The Jacobins were leftists. I’m sorry for you to find out this way, but to be anti-monarchist is to be on the Left, by definition.

I’m scratching my head a little on that one. Our Founders (Washington, Jefferson, etc.) were certainly anti-monarchist. They booted King George III, and they did not replace him with our own monarchy.
Yet our Founders were not leftists.
