The problem is that the left and the big chunk of people it represents
is comprised of many groups of dis- and unorganized minorities that

fraudulent enemy is often a representation of forces in the shape of a
secret cabal who work behind the scenes and are claimed to be the true

Illuminati or in our present day “the deep state” and “mainstream media”.
