I agree in a sense. The vast majority of the left, the useful idiots, absolutely have not thought about it at all and they never will. But the puppet masters certainly have.
Radical climate agenda, racist DEI, wide open borders for illegal alien criminals, sexualizing children with trans crap, free Palestine etc.... These are all insane causes that the Democrat party of ten years ago would never accept as fringe issues let alone fully embrace as wedge issues.
The long march through the institutions is coming to fruition and they've got an orange menace to rail against to help justify all of it.
And useful idiots lap it up.
