Liberals used to love him because they liked electric cars. He’s always been awful, he’s just a great conman with good PR.

I find liberals are the hardest demographic to move left in practice. Liberals strongly believe in individualism above all else, and this precludes having a systemic view of the problems we face. In a liberal world view, it's always the individual that's the problem as opposed to the system. Traditionally, when push comes to shove liberals inevitably embrace fascism instead of moving left. I thought this was an excellent analysis of the ideology.

I'm talking about liberals here, I find libertarians are closest to anarchists ideologically.
