There are quite a few actual leftists on Lemmy. I don't think they're confused and as the meme suggests, they're rather vocal.

Meanwhile Trump and other far right people have tried to brand liberals as "radical left" which is just silly, but a lot of news sources seem content to parrot alt-right rhetoric. One thing the Republican Party has always been good at is poisoning the well.
