    Do left wingers ever do ops accusing right wingers of not being right wing enough?

    Edit: left wingers meaning either libs or leftists in this context

      No because the left wing doesn’t exist and isn’t capable of doing an op. The right (including the far-right) has billions in private resources as well as state institutions to do all kinds of ops, many are surely very advanced. Media itself is a right-wing op under capitalism.

      I’ve occasionally done this as a comedy bit when I want to mess with right-wingers on places like reddit. I’ll pretend to be “an American Patriot” (I’m neither) and declare that professional standing militaries are “inherently communist” because “they suckle at the teat of government using stolen tax dollars” and “hierarchical obedience is communism, real men say sir to no man, salutes are for sheep”. I’ve started more than a few vicious infighting discussions among chuds, it’s great fun.

      The last big left/lib electoral op I can think of was to help Trump win the primary in 2016 so Hillary can win the election.

      (Edit: completely forgot about Russiagate)

      Otherwise the plan is to continue to move rightwards to win over moderate fascists.

      I guess outing Republicans as gay or otherwise nontrad happens quite regularly. Or that both Trump and Vance are married to migrants.

      I guess the nontrad, not white nationalist enough angle is actually really common.
