The alt left also used government power to enforce their ideology though

In the context of the United States (this thread is called "US Politics") there has never been an "alt left" in control of the branches of the federal government. The most left-wing governments we ever had in the U.S were social liberal governments, which are at best center-left, and some would argue right down the center. Basically that describes the period of 1932-1953; 1961 - 1969; and maybe if we stretch it far back -- 1861-1875. 

In almost every other period, the U.S has had divided government, centrist governments, or right-wing governments.
