Ah ok, thank you for explaining. I think we are in agreement that the people that are being targeted by Trump’s regime are not actual leftists. My point was that even if they aren’t leftists by definition, we should still be defending them from the regime because if we don’t, we allow anti-leftist oppression to be normalized.
