It seems to me that these four groups reject the enlightenment, reject democracy, reject the rule of law, and reject common morality. Anyone who is allied with Trump has looked the other way or encouraged political corruption, Putinistic spreading of conspiracy theories and generalized lying, intimidation and bullying. The anti-vaccine movement is a case in point: no problem with spreading lies disparaging the effectiveness of vaccines and minimizing the dangers of Covid, as more Republicans died from Covid because they refused to take precautions or get vaccinated. The "Anarcho-Bros worship of male dominance and tolerance for racism just proves my point.

Funny how the Left version of both populism ( Sanders) and Anarchism ( Kropotkin, mutual aid) are defined out of the picture in the new mainstream Media. I have been saying this is the end of the European Enlightenment for years. Kant's Categorical Imperative is gone, replaced by tribal loyalties. We are heading towards a new Feudalism, with Bezos, Musk and Gates our new lords.
