==Three years ago the right loathed him, today they love him and conversely today the left loathes him but 3 years ago they loved him.==
Not necessarily true according to this poll [1]. The alt-right might love him, but rank-and-file Republicans don't seem to:
"A new YouGov poll of 2,455 Americans shows that a majority (53%) say Assange should be extradited to America. That majority increases among both Republicans (59% supporting extradition) and Democrats (62% supporting extradition), but decreases to a plurality (46%) among Independents."

- haberman 7y agoThat is fascinating. I can't think of any other opinion where Republicans and Democrats have more in common than Independents, off the top of my head.
