Charlottesville Twitter has been beside itself with frustration over all the handwringing how-could-we-have-known crap.
everyone: How could we have known? the left: We've been generally predicting this kind of outcome since Reagan and specifically predicting every aspect of this exact outcome since the 2016 primary. everyone: BUT HOW COULD WE HAVE KNOWN?

Right?!?!?! And this exact group of people have even armed themselves and taken over statehouses multiple times! If anyone "didn't know" it's because they didn't want to know.

Tbh even too many from various segments of the left dismissed the fascism of Trump et al. and attacked theorists, activists, etc. for pointing it out.

I think I'm still using "the left" in the way it was used 6-10 yrs ago (ie. rarely and only about people who weren't registered Democrats bc even progressive Dems were too conservative). I'm not sure what the most up to date term would be. Maybe socialists?
