    There’s more “hard left” (not sure of that’s a porn category or a music genre) than fasch stuff on “social” media? Doubt.

      Well if you categorize everything that isn’t alt-right as hard left, it’s pretty believable. I mean hell, have you seen Wikipedia? Clearly hard left.

      You won’t find any questions on the CES about, say, whether the respondent approves of capitalism. So yes, this analysis was likely done with the American Overton window in mind.
