First of all I am not american, so my political understanding of the US only comes the internet so maybe am wrong about what I am about to write.

I was watching some clips of Nick Fuentes and while the things he says are completly awful, he is a very entreating guy to hear, and what's more important, he has the ability to talk in public to a large amount of people. But the problem is that while the far-right has this charismatic guy who is able to gather a very large crowd, the american left lacks some charcter who is likable to the masses. Bernie Sanders is the only one I can think of, but he is old and after the election he is losing relevancy.

So my question is ¿can a left leaning, Nick-like character create an independent movent?

    Movements aren't made through individualist actions. Those are cults. Movements are grown through collective action around a central premise. Individuals can help it along or even act as a spark to help get it really going, but they aren't created from nothing by individuals.
