It really doesn't matter if Trump actually likes racist extremist groups, because they believe that he likes them and so they in turn like him. And if anyone thinks Trump's symbiotic relationship with right-wing extremist groups is mirrored on the left they are clearly not paying attention.

The extreme left doesn't like Biden and he doesn't like them, the only thing they have in common is their hate for Trump.

The "extreme left" doesn't hate Trump, quite the opposite

Because it's a fuccing Hoax! The media asking him non-stop to denounce imagined "White Supremacists" implies that he's never done it before like Joe Biden claimed in that 2nd clip I posted. Meanwhile Joe Biden & Dems never are forced to denounce Antifa & left-wing rioters, who are actually causing trouble or asked to denounce Richard Spencer who has now endorsed Biden.

It just felt like the public was being trolled this past Wednesday & Thursday with the non-stop fearmongering about White Supremacists and The Proud Boys. I might as well have just tuned into Tariq Nasheed or some other YouTube Pro-black babbler.

Fear mongering would suggest these people aren't considered the biggest terrorist threat to American lives. The FBI said this not a right wing propaganda machine. Don't spread lies

Seeing as the far-left literally starts riots when conservative media personalities like Ben Shapiro or Ann Coulter try to speak at college campuses, I don't see how you came to the conclusion they don't hate Trump. Guaranteed they are gonna be acting a fool if Trump wins re-election.

Last time I checked there have been like 30-something people killed during the riots this year.

I know. It's called the Horseshoe Theory

"In political science and popular discourse,[1] the horseshoe theory asserts that the far-left and the far-right, rather than being at opposite and opposing ends of a linear political continuum, closely resemble one another, analogous to the way that the opposite ends of a horseshoe are close together. The theory is attributed to French philosopher and writer Jean-Pierre Faye.[2] Proponents of the theory point to a number of similarities between the far-left and the far-right, including their supposed propensity to gravitate to authoritarianism or totalitarianism."

I'm familiar with the horseshoe theory. And based off how both the intersectional Left & the actual Alt-right/Richard Spencer obsess over identity politics, I can't really disagree with.

The problem with your logic in this situation is Trump isn't Far-right. If you break down the issues that Trump ran on in 2016 he's basically Center-right/Moderate.




Even left-leaning media outlets like Vox had to admit it:

Key paragraph from the opening segment of the article:
It’s true that Trump is president, but it’s not true that Trump ran and won as an ideological extremist. He paired extremely offensive rhetoric on racial issues with positioning on key economic policy topics that led him to be perceived by the electorate as a whole as the most moderate GOP nominee in generations. His campaign was almost paint-by-numbers pragmatic moderation. He ditched a couple of unpopular GOP positions that were much cherished by party elites, like cutting Medicare benefits, delivered victory, and is beloved by the rank and file for it.

Never said Trump himself was far-right. But his followers are.

No different than Obama beloved by far-Left extremists.

And let's not ignore that twice Presidential contender Bernie's followers are also far far left-wing supporters.
