What will happen to the alt-left during Biden?

[wimp]

Will they fall in line or continue opposing the state?

"Alt-Left" isn't a term.   The only reason "Alt-Right" is a term is because that's what the right wing groups that hated the GOP establishment started calling themselves.

For the left it's usually just "progressives"

I don't know, do you have any insights on what might happen to unicorns under Biden?

[parochial boy]

Apparently it takes you back a page. I never knew that, but I assume it will contine to work like that.

Mmm, no. "Alt-left" was an established term before Trump came along, used to refer to the subsets of the left that peddled "anti-war rhetoric" that was literally just war crimes denial and support for dictators, coined by those on the left who DIDN'T ascribe to such conspiracy theories. The right tried to co-opt the term to hit the entirety of the left over the head with, but that doesn't mean that there isn't an actually existing "alt-left".

As for what these people will do? They'll continue to peddle racist conspiracy theories about brown people protesting for democracy being a CIA psyop, like they have for decades already. Unfortunately, these people aren't going away.

Not true.   Alt Left just started up as a counter to people who thought "alt right" was some kind of insult left wing people made up, even though it never was.   No one ever referred to themselves as "alt left" because the left wing in this country was always marginalized anyway except in the last 4-6 years maybe.

Hence there couldn't be an "alt left" because there really wasn't any "mainstream" or "establishment" left.

The term has an established history dating back several years. It was started by Free Syria activists in the 2010s, and has been used by people like Idrees Ahmad and Sam Charles Hamad for years. It's not something that the right wing made up, they just took the term and tried to redefine it to mean something else.

I’ll be honest, maybe I’m too young, but I’ve never even heard of any serious type of “alt left” unless it was some conservative drawing a false comparison five years ago

Depends who you consider "alt-left". Anti-woke leftists? Super-hard-left types? Different trajectories will exist among different subgroups.
