  • I think this was by design. Fox News had their talking heads scream about “liberals” for over a decade, and then it seems like they ran out of gas. Maybe in turning it into a pejorative for their audience, it got too ordinary and the right weren’t mad enough anymore.

    So they pivoted to “leftists” and “radical left” and continue their behaviour as before.

    I think it’s just an op to get as many people as possible to associate anything you’d consider left wing (even centrism and moderate conservatism) with the same general “badness”.

    It’s easier to make dispassionate centrists your enemy if you lump everything into one group and then blame them all for something a subgroup thinks or does.

    There’s enough people calling Chuck Schumer a “radical communist” that I think my theory holds. If that man is a “deranged left winger”, what the hell are the real deranged left wingers doing???
