How did White Supremacists get associated with conservatives? Just because they are both nationalistic? I get that they tied themselves to Trump, but that doesn't mean they are conservative. It's the same way that NAZI's got lumped in with the right. It's not true. Both NAZI's and the alt right advocate a national socialist platform in their political ideology. If you think conservatives favor national socialism, you don't understand anything about the party. So, not only are the white supremacists not connected to conservatives by ideology, you see an outright rejection of them BY conservatives. Name one white supremacist that is supported by the right, and don't say Donald Trump. That's nonsense. I can list several prominent politicians that are not only openly serving under the Democrat banner, but are increasingly becoming figureheads within the party. BLM, the organization, has tremendous influence with the left and corporate America. ANTIFA is ignored by the future President, even though they are an actual organization who despise everything about America. The 1619 Project, which is alternative history, is not only accepted by the left, it's celebrated. Trying to equivocate the extremes in the parties is a ridiculous notion.

That aside, there are still major misconceptions about what is happening culturally in the US with regards to race. Activists do not see race the way we do. Period. It is PRIMARILY about overthrowing capitalism, and race is a tool to do that. Barrack Obama and Oprah Winfrey do not have power, because we have not shed the tyranny of the capitalistic system. They won't ever have "power" until the old system has been abolished. They are just pawns trying to effectuate change in a broken system. Again, people tend to dismiss the activists because their position is so extreme, but they neglect everything I mentioned above. As the AOC's in the world rise to prominence (supported by mainstream politicians like Barry O), you will see this move from fringe ideology to mainstream. It already is, just some of you are burying your head in the sand, while "laughing" at conservatives for clinging to their God and guns.

Leftist politicians are a mixed bag. Some are activists, like AOC, and some are just your typical authoritarian narcissists, like Biden. I don't think Biden thinks like AOC, but he sees her as harmless. They give her a platform and lipservice, while continue to do business as usual, which, by the way, screws the people in the US. In the meantime, she's gaining power and influence, both politically and culturally. Especially with the youth.

Then you have the useful idiots who want to identify with this movement by finding offense in everything. These are the people that don't understand anything about the movement other than the opportunity it presents for them to take center stage. This is, in my opinion, the worst of the group, because they feign interest in the oppression of others to create a name for themselves. Add to this a bunch of well meaning idiots who actually want to fight against racism, but don't have the education or awareness to realize they are being used.
