    I’ve only heard about “alternative facts” from one side of the aisle, though.

      There are an absolute fuckton of “alternative facts” floating around the far let’s sphere of influence, but the far left is

      A) significantly smaller than MAGA populism

      B) generally aligned with things a majority of people can agree on (higher wages, more rights for minorities, more public services - all loosely defined)

      This means the more extreme views of the left are largely ignored by most people. This is, ideally, how it should work across the board, but it does not because one group has a complete ecosystem on which to sustain themselves.
