I have to believe there is some sort of stunted emotional development at work here with a lot of the extreme left. It's a textbook temper tantrum mixed with politics. Tantrums are a way of not only venting frustration, but a means of emotional manipulation in lieu of the ability to persuade through reasoning. If I can't convince you of the superiority of my ideas, I must demonize yours. I will shriek about Hitler, fascism, and race ad nauseum as those are the typical far left canards when all else fails. It need not have any resemblance to reality. But if I pound and scream, and yell about it enough, maybe I can emotionally manipulate someone into believing it might be true if I'm acting this way. Maybe if we are actually attempting to murder our political opponent on rally rooftops or golf courses, it's because he must be that bad. Maybe if we are waging lawfare to incarcerate our political opponent, it's because he must be a criminal. Maybe if we try to frame him with foreign collusion, it must be true. With the modern day left you are either dealing with emotionally stunted children, or pure psychopaths and seemingly not too much in between.
