As a general rule, I would agree...
Sadly, for your rapidly decaying construct, the Ideological Left, well short of a century ago, murdered 150 million innocent people, in the name of acquiring power.
Placing them; which is to say YOU... in the position of being the most lethal force on earth, short of disease itself.
Now, the only way that a 'people' come to such a loft perch, in terms of infamy, is that the reasoning they employ is a stark deviation from the viable version of reasoning, on which civilization itself, rests.
Anywhere else on earth, the Ideological left as it is presently constituted in the US would be set to remove all viable governance, and run roughshod over the people of the United States. The problem that they have is that in the US, there exist Americans.
Sadly, for the Left... we the Americans are heavily armed, self sufficient, don't give a flying FUCK about their power and we will go to work eviscerating the cult, the INSTANT they attempt to do so.
Thus... the consistent reticence they are experiencing to avoid doing so.
And ya can't blame them, given the unenviable fate that such would bring upon them.
