"The Left" has become a dog whistle
The Left is a catch-all phrase for weak, effete, effeminate men, who think they're better than hard working salt of the earth types who really understand what's going on.

A longtime friend posted a link to an article on Facebook that explained at great length how "the left" is even more hostile to science than "the right."

I started to to read it, it took a long time to get to the point, if it ever did. I started skimming very early in the piece. It seemed he knew what "the left" means but I do not. I need to see a definition to begin to understand what he's actually saying.

I've listened to Limbaugh and watched Fox News. My sense that The Left is sort of a catch-all phrase for weak, effete, effeminate men, do-gooders, feminists (RL calls them feminazis), who think they're better than hard working salt of the earth types who really understand what's going on. 

If The Left would stop interfering we'd fix the world, but they control the media and schools. They give my money to lazy "other" people who live in the inner city, Muslims (terrorists), blacks (welfare queens, drug users), Mexicans (rapists) and they're often Jews, you know the people with hooked noses who really run the world, like George Soros. 

The Left is such a poisoned term, that if you're trying to say something that will be heard generally, you should find another way to express it.

I have, BTW, voted Repub many times, but this Republican Party is one I can't imagine ever voting for.
