78. Far left are the people

who exploded into protesting colonialism the day after Israel was attacked. They demanded revolution and expressed joy at the death of Israelis.

The far left believes that the United Health Care CEO deserved to die in the way he did.

The far left is the mirror image of MAGA, both distorting democracy and embracing chaos to get their ends.

Some may say the far left are socialists, but I believe it's something different. it's people willing to destroy society to get to an ideal that will never exist. They'll run over every single cause, BLM to climate to trans rights to zionism and bleed it dry, leaving the people they purport to defend in a worse state than when they activated their support. And when it garners them little attention, they'll move on to the next thing.

The Far Left attack democratic politicians, senators, presidents, representatives way more than they attack the right.
