🔴   How the left nurtures radicals while the right eats its own

Politics

The modern American political landscape shows a perplexing imbalance. The 21st-century progressive movement has a mainstream core that secures most practical political wins but also embraces a more radical set of leftist beliefs. Leftists often identify as open communists, violent Antifa members, or revolutionary queer activists, yet they remain accepted within the movement. Rather than facing cancellation, these radical elements are frequently elevated by the mainstream and given prestigious positions in critical institutions like universities. Leaders and ideas from the radical vanguard easily flow into the mainstream, energizing the liberal elite.In contrast, the American right abandons or actively destroys anyone who steps outside its mainstream.
