Edit: I’ll give you one really easy one. Defund the police. Universally championed in online progressive circles. Toxic with voters.

The issue with the ultra left is that most (l)iberal parties have not taken hold of these ideas in the way the far left would want. Yet, the (c)onservative parties are embracing far right ideals with zeal!
I don't see Trudeau or Biden or Notley running around yelling "defund the police" (which I would argue is a rallying cry for policing reforms around mental health and not the scary thing many on the right seem to think it is), but i do see politicians on the right embracing some pretty bat#### policies, crying about the WEF, and talking about IRS/Environment Officers as if they are Brown Shirts.
The "woke" left is merely a fringe screaming on social media about gender fluidity and racial (over?)inclusion. hardly the boogeyman to be taken seriously.
