No, they don't.

 MP> Who do they prey upon ("against")?  People who have religion,

Leftists tend to have no problem with religion as long as people don't try to
force their religious beliefs upon others, or make others follow their
religion's rules.

That is very apparent in the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights, a struggle in which
the left is supportive of LGBTQ+ persons, not preying on them.

 MP> people who
 MP> live in rural areas,

How so?

 MP> people with jobs in sectors they don't like

Climate change is an emergency. That is nothing personal against coal miners,
etc.

 MP> people who want to have a say in their
 MP> child's education.

The people who want to ban books or certain topics of discussion are largely
doing so because they want to force their beliefs on others or refuse to
accept reality.

Indeed. Conservatives are trying to corrupt the educational system to advance
their beliefs.
