Were social justice warriors responsible for the election outcome?

Firstly, political misclassification. In the political scales, Liberalism stands firmly in the centre. There is no such thing as 'leftist liberalism'. The political left starts with Socialism then fades through to Communism whereas the political right starts with Conservatism then fades through to Fascism. The authoritarian scale is something different. Here Democracy occupies the centre space, fading through Libertarianism to Anarchism at the top and fading through Nationalism to Totalitarianism at the bottom. The combination of the 2 scales give us the Political Spectrum. If we can start being more precise about our labels, we can start identifying the misinformation in messages, for example anyone calling anyone else a 'liberal leftie!'.

That's just the nature of American politics. The conservative right has been carefully spinning the narrative that anyone to the left of Margaret Thatcher is a radical leftist bent on destroying liberty. It has worked astonishingly well.
