Hating Trump doesn't mean anything is moving left.
It also doesn't mean anything
isn't moving left. These are just sort of hollow statements with little meaning, way too broad and amorphous to be indicative of any specific argument.
There has clearly been a shift to the far left by a portion of society, and anyone that denies it just isn't paying attention. The rise in popularity of groups like Antifa, the success (albeit on a small scale) of candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, an unabashed socialist, and the shifts in stance and doubling down on issues like immigration, restriction of speech, and the dead end of identity politics. I see this in the world at large, and also within the circles of folks that I know.
As someone that used to DJ in the rave scene in the late 90s and early 2000s, all the while being a staunch libertarian (albeit left-leaning at the time), I recall open and constructive political discussions between people of all stripes from all coordinates on the political compass. From most of the people that were considered far left at that point in time, I recall a string defense of classic American liberal values, such as freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and a stance of tolerance and attempted understanding, even if they strongly disagreed. I remember ZERO instances, over many years, of people attempting to silence or intimidate.
These days, from many of the same people, who have now grown bitter and aggressive, I see disrespect, derision, outright attacks and attempts to silence, and a level of intolerance for even slight deviation from their perceived concepts of what is socially and politically acceptable. A few of the worst examples include calls for physical violence against those they disagree with. Politically, many of these people call for the destruction of the US Constitution, aggressive, oppressive action against those they disagree with, or outright violent revolution. There has been a clear and present shift farther to the left, with many embracing socialist/communist ideology, coupled with an openly aggressive stance towards those they disagree with.
Personally, I still consider myself to be fairly moderate, but I have more and more trouble embracing some libertarian ideals, and consider myself sort of firmly entrenched in the center-right. I believe in borders, I think some taxation is necessary, I I won't watch the country and culture I grew up in self-detonate in efforts of forced diversity and hazy morality. That said, there is plenty of the right that I can't get on board with, as well, so I don't see myself embracing the GOP anytime soon. I also strongly dislike President Trump, even if I think he has done a few good things for the country during his term.
In summary, many people have been pushed farther left, with a decent portion of moderates sliding the other direction, as well.
That's it for now.
