  1. There are still a tiny number of Trotsky's followers out there. There also exists a tiny cult of residual Leninists who believe the slogan "le pire le mieux." (The worse the better). Their theory is that bad things will make their imaginary "The Revolution" come faster. Think of them as 666ers who have read Das Kapital. In the original German. The loony right, fertilised with Trump's adequate supply of ordure, magnify these tiny cults, and falsely call them "the Left." Even Charlie, to his shame, does this, maybe once a month. Remember, he's from Wisconsin, Senator Joe McCarthy's old stamping grounds. Some of us accidentally step on dog turds (or used to: we've beaten dog owners into submission at last, so there's less of it around than there used to be.) in the streets as children. With Charlie it wasn't dog turds, it was the politics of some of the grown-ups down the street.

  2.  @deborahedelman2659  If a person believes that their neighbors are going to be roasted in sulphur and agony for all eternity, I guess the small matter of them having their government and their money stolen by a charlatan is no big deal. I'm not quite sure where "extremism" fits in that picture.
