Well, FWIW, I grew up in SF and I'm mostly Left-leaning (although I would have voted for Mitt Romney rather than Biden if that had been an option) and I'll go ahead and "own" our crazies.

I've met a few Left-wing nut jobs here over the years. I once attended a Communist rally by accident (I had a crush on the math teacher's daughter, no one told me the overnight field trip was to a Commie rally until we were already on the freeway.) Even as a kid I could tell that they were just a pathetic "religion"-without-God, I would say the lot of them (American Communists) are card-carrying loonies.

But (and you can see it coming can't you?)

But they never stormed the capitol.

Two questions for you:

1) What were they trying to do? (If they are not weird cultists?)

2) Can you think of a group on the Left like Qanon on the Right?

I'm sincere, I'm not trying to troll you or talk shit. What do you think?
