It's more like the right picked a "petulant child" as their archenemy, rather than the left picked her. It's not a leftist scheme that Trump is engaging in a twitter feud with Thunberg.

The right ignored IPCC scientists, they laughed at Al Gore (for having a private jet - yeah I get that it's a very easy thing to hate), but somehow they can't do a thing to a teenager largely repeating the points already made (and ignored) by IPCC and Al Gore, all their usual propaganda tactics do nothing against her, and somehow that makes the right frothing mad.

I guess tasting one's own medicine feels awful. Shrug.
