Its interesting that the Right has created a movement so opposed to basic reality that the Left has become hyper-informed and vigilant for disinfo as a reaction.
The 90s-2000s Left was NOT like this. Online education helped, but the Right becoming so unhinged is what really did it.

Things like 9/11 trutherism and antivax grew heavily out of the Left of the 2000s. There was the "anti-feminazi" leftists who were hardcore socialist and hardcore misogynist.
The Right took all of that and claimed it as their own.
The American Left had to teach itself to exist again.
Often correct and moving in a good direction, but with large and problematic blindspots.
