Anyone who thinks that leftists are secretly fascist and support people like Trump or Putin or any other capitalist pig in charge needs to take a step back and seriously consider how they themselves view the world critically.

Some of the commentary over here and on grad might seem like that but people need to keep in mind that the actual left(stateside, global Southside, or other) are outside the realm of Dem vs Rep 2 party politics. And as such we can and will be critical of any war criminal that is or was or will be the president of the United States.

I think a lot of ideas about us leftists being secretly pro-Trump probably stem from our critiques of Obama or Biden. And those people in the comments on other instances stating that we are somehow fascist bots pretending to be leftists need to figure out how to stop viewing the world in back and white.
