I'm a late 1960's era "extreme liberal". At that time, being an extreme liberal meant beign against the Viet Nam war, believing there was room in society for gays and lesbians to live out of the closet. It meant better treatment for migrant farm workers, which at that time was pretty bad. It meant being sympathetic to the civil rights movement...that kind of thing.

Yesterday's extreme liberals and Reagan-era extreme conservatives are 2026's centrists and make up the majority of the population, but we're split in the two parties. We've both lost our voice to the extreme voices within our own parties. The centrist majority has been fragmented and polarized across the two-party divide which is dominated by extremes. It is truly the system that is letting us down.

Sorta like this.

In the 1960 - 1970s I considered myself to be an "old school liberal" or "classical liberal." Now it's been inferred that I'm a "right-wing nutjob MAGA supporter" which couldn't be further from the truth - I'm still an "old school liberal." Guys like Jimmy Dore have addressed the same phenomenon. Our political positions are still pretty much the same - classical liberal - but some many of the Left have moved so far Left that it makes centerists look like Right-wing, nationalist Nazis when in fact their own politics are in many cased totally insane:
Men can be women!!! Men need tampons!!! Men can get pregnant!!!"
No - Men are men, if you need a tampon you should see a doctor as you have serious health issues, and you don't have the biological parts to get pregnant. Unfortunately the Progressive (far Left) are literally delusional and we are expected to indulge them in their delusions. Can't do that.
"You're a Right-wing, nationalist, LGBT-hating Nazi - Grrrrr."
Nope - I just deal with reality, no delusions. I'm not Right-wing, or a nationalist, or a homophobe, or a Nazi. But my politics do lie just Left of center. I'm still a liberal, just not a whack-job progressive liberal.

The far left take over as described in the 2018 OP by the Atlantic Magazine has even got the former far left Marxist members of BLM denouncing the Dem's.

Former BLM activist-turned conservative exposes the ‘left-wing propaganda arm’

” Xaviaer Durousseau, a former BLM activist, slammed the Black Lives Matter movement, stating that “the entire Democratic Party at this point has just become a Marxist facade.”

The Communist/Marxist/far left extremist groups took Nazi tactics to a different level.

Who could ever forget the hostage posters being ripped down and the Nazi style intimidation of Jews on USA campuses after October 7 !

Resorting to calling me Goebbels while the left openly uses Nazi-style tactics , tearing down posters of kidnapped Jews, harassing Jewish students, and cheering for groups that want to wipe Israel off the map , Regimes that kill 10's of thousands of its own citizens .

"When Israel launched its counteroffensive in Gaza following the October 7 atrocities committed by Hamas, the Western Left mobilized instantly... Organizations such as CodePink, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Palestine Action filled the streets... chanting for the destruction of the Jewish state".

Okay, I'll bite. Of course, both you and I are sick at heart for the state executions of Iranian demonstrators.

But...they were in Iran. Not Omaha. Our friends, the billionaires, aren't financing freedom around the world nor are they sending their children to be soldiers.

Iran for Iranians, Cuba for Cubans, Venezuela for Venezuelans. Those are their countries. Let them figure it out. Sink or swim.

Regardless, it's none of our business. Let's use that ridiculous amount of military money to make America great, right here at home.

They all sources of US propaganda. You're problem is the lack of understanding of what propaganda actually is and how it's used in information warfare.
That's the problem with being ideologically aligned with one side or the other on the political and geo-political spectrum - you are blind to your own side's propaganda mistaking it instead as "the absolute truth." That's simply blind ignorance I'm afraid. And then you simply become a conduit to promote the propaganda of the side you're aligned to.

All political and geo-political entities engage in propaganda.

I’m surprised you’d credit a leftie rag like The Atlantic in 2018 for your 2026 opinions.

“Iran, Cuba and Venezuela have done far more damage to America”. Not if America left them alone!

What do they have to do with us, exactly? If they can't figure it out on their own, so what?

I doubt you’re a billionaire. So why do you support the capitalist class divide? You want more people living in poverty?

I want to see an America based on compassion, equality and inclusion for all and minding our own business.

Too Marxie for you, Groucho?

As The Atlantic warned back in 2018:
“For the third time in a century, leftists are driving the Democratic Party’s agenda. Will they succeed in making America more equitable, or overplay their hand?”

The American Left being cheered on by the international left has gone too far, turning politics into a sick cult where assassination attempts on Trump are met with memes, excuses, and barely concealed glee from too many progressives.

Their radical initiatives,defund the police, open borders, men in women's sports, and race obsessed DEI,have wrecked cities, eroded women's rights, and divided society & communities like never before.

Sanctuary cities and unchecked illegal immigration have flooded communities with crime, strained welfare systems, and left American citizens as second class residents in their own country. This isn't progress, its waste fraud & abuse ,it's a toxic overreach that voters finally rejected in 2024, proving the progressive agenda has become both delusional and destructive.

The far left core of today’s Dem Party is openly Marxist/Socialist, proudly pushing socialism and communism while too many of its activists openly sympathize with or defend terrorist regimes and groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Maduro dictatorship in Venezuela, Iran's regime that simulates Nazism(killing thousands of its citizens) and Communist Cuba.

This kind of extremism only proves how far the left has fallen into a sick cult. The Red Green Alliance , this toxic coordination between international and domestic jihadists and far left Western Communists, Marxists, Anarchists, Socialists & Progressives are supporting and sympathizing with Hamas terrorists, cheering the Oct 7th atrocities, and openly expressing hatred for Jews and Israel.

Right-wing extremist, as those you seem to support, are just as dangerous, if not more so, than the Left-wing varieties. However? All forms of extremism are a danger to society.

How did the dems transform into a party that is unrecognizable.

The good guys sanctioning the Communist /Marxist regime in Cuba to maintain control over National Security. Another example of the far left ideology overplaying their hand in the USA interests.

"For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond. Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations".

The SPLC Marxist organization had to manufacture a false narrative to promote funding, More evidence that the far left have taken over the party . The left can't get away from sponsoring the KKK.They've been doing it since the civil war days.

"The SPLC’s paid informants ('field sources') engaged in the active promotion of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website"

The Sothern Poverty Law Center has lost all credibility after they served their usefulness back in the day ,they needed to stay relevant , what better way to stay relevant than using funds to pay radical loons to promote their scheme.

The Law finally putting a end to this by arresting the perps & exposing it.

The farleft in Minnesota just showed its true colors again, St. Paul’s city attorney refused to file charges against the antiICE protesters who stormed and disrupted a church service.

This is the reincarnation of the KKK spirit , a mob invading a house of worship to intimidate and silence people they disagree with, now wearing the robes of social justice warriors instead of white hoods.

In true farleft fashion, Minnesota’s left protects its own enforcers who terrorize churches while claiming to defend rights, proving again how the overplayed hand has turned them into something unrecognizable.

When prosecutors won’t even charge people for disrupting religious services over politics, you know the far left has fully replaced rule of law with tribal intimidation tactics.fortunately there is federal indictments.

"Kao added that the decision to not prosecute the protesters is not an endorsement of public disorder.

“The right to peacefully protest is protected, as is the right to exercise one’s religious beliefs,” she wrote. “Balancing these equally important rights is paramount to our decision today".

Communism is trying its darndest to undermine the USA. Rep. Luna pressed Rubio on Singham, an American millionaire based in China who has poured over $278M into nonprofits since 2017, including $1.3M to Code Pink.

Rubio confirmed Singham’s role in bankrolling far left radical groups and noted their suspiciously rapid, pre printed sign protests following events like Maduro’s extradition, calling them anything but organic. Side note, the Communist funded Campus protests & Minnesota anti Ice Chaos.

This foreign influence operation, with clear CCP links and ties to pro Cuba activism, perfectly illustrates how the left has overplayed its hand by becoming dependent on adversarial funding that fuels division and anti American agitation.

Groups like Code Pink, intertwined with broader networks including the Communist Party USA and Democratic Socialist of America, exemplify the sick cult dynamics coordinated, well financed radicalism that prioritizes ideological warfare over genuine grassroots concerns.

Aforementioned underscore the external enablers turning domestic progressive activism into a tool for foreign powers to sow chaos and undermine U.S. unity.

It was a very small segment of liberals who pushed the transgender issue just a little bit too hard, and unfortunately a lot of Democrats caved into it. I think that lesson has been learned and most of us who are moderate never bought into it to begin with.

In reality the right has overpushed their hand and turned into a MAGA cult, with an extremist agenda, pushed by a racist imbecile, but it seems like some of the worshipers are drinking less Kool-Aid these days and starting to regain their senses.

The left's footsoldiers are a reminder that this is what happens when the Dems don't win at Democracy,they resort to failed, violent tactics that simulate Mao's Cultural Revolution / Red Guard purges.

The clip from Newsmax shows exactly that dynamic in action, farleft protesters at a T P USA Women's Leadership Summit in San Antonio clashing with police, attempting to swarm entrances, and openly chanting things like "Charlie Kirk deserves to die", "Erica Kirk, go to hell. It is right to rebel", while one person reenacted Kirk’s assassination.

On the mayhemic ideology, these aren't people interested in debate or democratic norms. They’re driven by destruction, resentment, envy, and grievance politics.

Newsmax guest points out the explicit Mao reference in their chants ("Women hold up half the sky" ,a quote from Mao during the Cultural Revolution).

That era involved radicalized youth (Red Guards) tearing down society, attacking enemies of the revolution, middle class, teachers, etc., through struggle , violence, and mob rule.

The video highlights hammer and sickle flags and masked agitators as further signals of that 100 million ,100 year death cult playbook.

The good(?) ship Dems once considered to represent values of JFK will more than likely elect a man in Maine who has Nazi tattoo representation on his chest .amough other disturbing reports.

"Amid recent reports about Platner sending sexually explicit messages to women who weren’t his wife and allegations of “unsettling,” and in at least one case physically threatening, behavior toward former partners, Mills reminded Maine voters that her name is still on the primary ballot. Despite some encouragement from her supporters, however, the 78-year-old has not resumed an active campaign".
