It doesn't seem like the article writer chose the title, but even if it was accurate that wouldn't be surprising.
You'd be surprised how many right wing or "free-thinking" people have been successfully isolated from any conception of a left perspective. A strong narrative exists that there are two sides, and two sides only - meaning if you are far-left you must be like Biden but like, even moreso. And if you know the Republicans and Democrats are both evil you're encouraged to just disengage, there is no alternative.
To the degree it is safe for you to do so, I highly recommend engaging as much as possible with people on the right/"independent", present them an alternative view (IRL, online is nothing, a waste of time). Maybe it's where I live but I've yet to engage with one who is an all-out fascist, most I've put the time in with have esoteric views, hate the bourgeoisie, are not opposed to a strong public infrastructure to attend to the needs of regular people, sympathetic to indigenous devastation, minority oppression etc. They typically have some views that need correcting but are rarely the hateful screaming ethnofascist bigot many on this site are quick to round them up to.
I wouldn't expect to pill them right away, but in general the left position is a very strong and easy to defend one so you can be patient and consistent, while giving them time to speak and feel heard.
Organizing is the act of talking to people who don't necessarily agree with you, and bringing them in on your movement. If you're only taking to people who agree with you that's much closer to mobilizing than organizing.
It would be funny if Tucker Carlson is just so online, he accidentally destroys the mainstream right because he assumes everyone knows what TrueAnon or Citations Needed is, and people actually get pilled by them.

Not just righties, libs too. I didn't truly encounter the left perspective until I was in my mid twenties. I was on Bernie Reddit, and I was really surprised to see people saying positive things about the evil commie dictatorship of Cuba, which prompted me to read a biography of Fidel Castro to learn more about him and it.

Their only exposure to the left is from strawmen fed to them by Tucker Carlson et al.
I honestly think Tucker namedropping Chapo led to this article because people were like wtf is that

I think he's too scared of :citations-needed: and :trueanon: to talk about them

We live in an era where TV Dinner Man has done more for leftist political education than the DNC.
implying the DNC has anything to do with leftism
Death to America
