> MAGA and/or the alt-right just happened to be a movement that was in the right time and had enough momentum to step in. Had things gone differently it could have been a hard left movement. This is a both sides argument when in fact there’s very real, very well funded movement to oppose and suppress any left wing groups from getting any real traction. Remember the Occupy movement or the defund the police movements or Bernie’s run for president? Very real political movements that got torn apart in the media very quickly as well as institutional crackdowns on the people involved. The Jan 6 riots by comparison got significantly more lenient treatment and has now been completely absolved. The US for better or worse has never had a successful left wing movement but not for lack of trying.
