I’m convinced that the further left you go the more you don’t understand the people who disagree with you. These people think their political opposition are all comic book-tier super villains. Just motivated out of seething irrational hate and nothing else. It’s ridiculous, these people are so closed minded.

This goes both ways: have you even been on /pol/?

Again, this is not exclusive to one political leaning: go take a look at the right-wing propaganda from the 60s, how it paints their opposition as cartoon-tier caricatures.

Hell, the anti-drug shit was guilty of this shit as well, or you don't remember the whole "MARIJUANA, THE PLANT WITH IT'S ROOTS ON HELL" shit from around the same time?

George Takei is a better representation of progressive leftists than pol is about conservatives.

A lot of people there now are trumpster boomers though, a key demographic shift which happened after the 2016 election.

This is why Qanon shit became so popular in the first place. The usual chan dweebs aren't the only ones to browse /pol/ anymore.
