If you look, you’ll find the phenomenon of far left supporters of socialism using methods generally seen amongst the far right (intimidation, gaslighting, and persuasive coercion) is not limited to the US.
With your large platform, I would recommend you platform how other nations are also ensuring the far left’s assault on liberalism and centrism.

Also their penchant to support authoritarianism as long as it’s socialist.

It seems to also be a newly adopted belief by socialists.
You can find plenty of evidence globally that a blossoming synchronicity between the far left and the far right continues to emerge.

Once you recognize the pattern, it becomes unmistakeable.
The far right is a true minority in almost every nation/society.

In order to win elections, paring votes from the centre, where most electorates reside ideologically, is essential. Combined with gerrymandering and voter suppression, this guarantees a far right win.
The far right can not function and assume power without the complicity of the far left.

Even Hitler used this tactic. As does Russia and the former Soviet Union.

The appeal is emotional and pits centrists against demagoguery meant to portray moderation as the problem.
There has also been an upsurge in left libertarianism. Which, coincidentally, mirrors the end outcome of Paleolibertarianism. The removal of government and support for anarchy.
Appealing to the logic that supporters of democratic society don’t advocate for benevolent dictatorship will not work. Dictators use authoritarian control, regardless of their benevolence. A dictator is a dictator. They don’t care.
You’ll find those that support Bernie are as cult-like and unreachable as Trump supporters.

Theyve been taught to use thought terminating cliches to avoid any cognitive dissonance that criticizes their belief system.

They are essentially unreachable.
Exposing Bernie’s hidden agenda will work for centrists. But it won’t for those already smitten by the far left ideology. I agree Bernie is a threat as much as Trump to democracy.

He’s just another end of the extremism found at the end of the horseshoe.
