I can't see the left creating a fringe comparable to the talk-radio right though. The audience is too fragmented for that. Mini-saga of Maxine Waters suggests there will be no Limbaugh/Gingrich types. A new left power base will emerge in a more fragmented way. Speculations?

I think the left will just focus on winning elections. A very competent class of legislators enter this year. I think Trump dominance causes the same focus for 2020. The right isn't as unhinged as the left thinks, Trump will continue to demoralize them with bad news + recession.

If Trump continues to operate same way for rest of this term, I think a small but violent fringe will develop on the Left (akin to the Weathermen et al in the 1960s). But I can't guess howhow mainstream Dems will respond to that.
