The "left" has been fighting totalitarianism in its many forms of Russian/Chinese communism, Capitalism, Royal Monarchy since human history began.  The smearing of any dissent from the capitalist orthodoxy is the favorite game of those yearning for dictatorship of the few over the many in whatever form.  The current governing system hijacked by the Republican traitors is only the latest in a long line of traitorous acts by the same predators with the same titles and intent.  The "right" is dedicated to the overthrow of all human and civil rights formerly the reason for the revolution and formation of the U.S.  From slavery to segregation and the Robber Barons of past eras, the modern Republicans epitomize the worst characteristics of them all led by the latest Hitler incarnation, Der Fuehrer Trump.
