Terms, like Extreme Feminism, Socialism, Radical Capitalism, Identity Politics and many more, rose to prominence in correlation with the Re-Rise of the Extreme-Left and Radical-Right, both of which are the extremes of the left and right ideologies of the political spectra. The Right is conservative, insisting on nationalism and preservation of social values and a supporter of capitalism; whereas the Left is liberal and progressive, aims to change and challenge the current political ideas and a supporter of Marxist ideas. The Radical Right figure Donald Trump's flourishing coincided with the Extreme-Left figure Bernie's Rise. This led to the rise of both ideologies in the United States of America. Both Trump and Bernie inspired many youth generations to adopt their philosophy which will shape the future of the nation.
