The point I'm making is that 'clueless congressmen' is an unlikely possibility in this instance.

No, this is not what I said nor implied.

Where on the left is there a fear factory like Fox News, Breitbart, or NewsMax? Where on the left is there a propaganda network like Fox News, OANN, or Sinclair? Where on the left is the think tank establishment like the Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute, the Cato Institute, and so on? Where on the left is the well organized political activist community that can rival The Federalist Society, Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks, and so on?

Again not my point, and I did say in my view the right is further gone. I do think there are those on the left hurting us, like Huff, but I do not think, nor say, they are at the same level as those on the right.

I do not understand this.

I don't want to timun you, but would you please explain what about it you don't understand? Because the quote and your replies following would seem to suggest that not only do you understand it, but that you agree with it.
