Needlessly polarizing comment.

Trump managed to lie his way into power, no politician in recorded history has said so many things that were patently un-true in order to get to where he is today.

Those 'left-wingers' you refer to are also right wing, the United States doesn't currently have a left wing, all it has is right wing and elitist (or maybe slightly more right wing).

A functioning left would probably take more votes away from the Republicans than from the Democrats. Good luck getting that off the ground with the electoral college and the influence of money the way things are today.
