        depends on they actually believe it or if it’s a convenient lie that fits their narrative. I think it’s both, so yeah, what you said.

      From what I’ve seen, leftists can. There hasn’t been a visibly strong far-left movement in the US for a while though, so most people think people just slightly left of the democrats are far-left —and the media is partially responsible for this representation.

      There is a large difference between moderates, regular republican voters, and vocal neo-nazis. I think the left side is probably slightly more blurry, because it’s largely down to what methods you agree are appropriate, while largely the end goals desired are similar.
