The Rise of Far Left Extremism

Well Trump also directs anger at the corporate elites (that's why he attacks companies like Amazon) and "rigged" economy. It's not necessarily that identity politics is bad, but people are leaving out economic identity politics, or class politics. So if we only care about the economy, then we might say Trump is decent, even though he's likely leading the country towards fascism with his white identity politics.

Yes, but you can say the same for someone like AOC who is anti-corporate, but engages in idenitarian politics by wanting mass immigration/open borders, etc. If you ignore his white identity politics and focus on immigration, Trump is not behaving that differently than Obama who had border camps and deported many illegals as well.

I don't know where you're getting your sources from, but AOC clearly doesn't want mass immigration/open borders. However she does want to solve the current conditions of the detained immigrants in the US, and she's saying that climate change is responsible for creating more migrants and refugees seeking relief.

It is significant that 60% of Americans approve 'Allowing refugees from central American countries to seek asylum in the US', and 80% want 'Developing a plan to allow some people living in the U.S. illegally to become legal residents'.
