I just stumbled upon this definition of Left Wing at the Urban Dictionary. It is quite accurate.

A nonexistent political spectrum on the North American continent due to monstrous shifting to the right...

"In this country, assuming a centrist position makes you right wing. A true left wing extremist is something you've never seen, and wouldn't know if one snuck up and smacked you on the back of the skull with a picket sign."

The first time I went to London was during Bush the Lesser's war, and I had to join the protest march. What shocked my little Utah-raised heart was sweet old grandmas and grandpas holding signs for the Socialist party. I couldn't imagine. Grannies are all Republican.

@ScottSoCal I'm sure that Socialist grannies are a tiny percentage of grannies overall--especially in Utah.

@rchusid
Well, now I'm old enough to be a grandpa, and if I'm not socialist, I'm socialist-adjacent.

@ScottSoCal There are definitely socialists and other leftists but the spirit of this definition is correct considering how small the left is in the US.
