The only thing that stopped them was Trump fucking up.

You mean showing up.

But you’re right, the left has been infiltrated and manipulated to focus on minorities and identity politics instead of things that benefit everyone, like increased wages, corporate regulations, corporate taxes, worker’s rights. You don’t hear too much about those these days. Maybe because the media doesn’t talk about those lefties. Maybe it’s in the media’s interest to only show you what they want you to see.
