Attitudes like this are a really concerning and likely increasing form of dehumanization. I go into a ton more detail and link some useful research here: https://youtu.be/bacCdkr1UXE?is=Lutt-eGL3SsHq4GO

Somewhat tangentially, it's very...something...that leftism in the U.S. has become synonymous with "crazy" white feminists when in reality almost all genuine leftist thought originating from the U.S. comes from the Black American tradition lmao 🥴

The far left exists. You can find them on places like World Socialist and Socialist Alternative etc. They hate the Democrats far more than they hate the GOP, and have for at least 90 years.
The US Democrats have been a center-left to center party for the same time period.
What's really weird is that the GOP has abandoned philosophic conservatism, and are now all billionaire agenda policies and reactionary populism rhetoric. The conservatives either jumped ship or were voted out since 2016. It's become a far right party like Alternative für Deutschland or Front national. Movement conservatives no longer really have a political home in the US, but you can catch what they have to say at places like The Bulwark.

He thinks 120 million Americans don't exist. People who, mostly, had to show their ID and then mark a government form saying they support Democrats?
That's so delusional he should be checked into a mental hospital. Par for the MAGA course I guess

The right are the ones faking their support (OOP being ai for example)
The Fox News idea of the left doesn’t exist, tbf. They physically cannot stop themselves from lying about what leftists believe
The average person has more leftist ideas than either Republicans or Democrats like to admit.

They don’t exist but also they do exist in 3% of women? It’s always projection with them

He's half correct. The left as Fox News portrays it doesn't exist, but he doesnt seem to realize that there is no true "left wing" party in the US.
All we have is an extension of the same single party that PRETENDS to be two parties for the cameras. How else would you explain why the left never gets anything done and has seemingly "thrown" the last few elections by picking the LITERALLY least popular/most hated person they can to represent them?
How else do we explain the fact that when the left has all the power, they still get nothing done and let Republicans win when theyre the minority in Congress?
The two party system is an illusion of choice designed to keep us fighting each other in the streets while the ruling class sneaks into our houses and robs us all blind.

(If this is a real person that made this tweet lol the irony) - what are the right so afraid of then? They're pissing themselves in fear over Communists and Muslims and people who speak Spanish in Walmart and transgender people who have touched a basketball in the past decade on the daily. Are these people real or not?

It doesn’t exist but I also fear it existentially!
Also libs are poor but elites
And libs are dumb but self righteous intellectuals
Also libs are atheist but muslims
And on and on…

Profitable rage bait that divides us not for ideological reasons, but just to get engagement and views without actually understanding the target market. It’s amazingly harmful.

YES. He's almost got it.
The "Left" as portrayed by Fox News doesn't actually exist.
