I believe you are, if we consider antifas, hardcore marxists, etc. as the opposite of the alt-right.
"The ctrl-left number"
I don't understand what you mean by that, would you please clarify?

Ctrl-left is the antipode to the Alt-right: Antifa. They appear to outnumber the neo-nazis and kkk by between 5:1 to 20:1. That's what I meant. i.e. I see them (as newly defined alt-right) as a joke. (well, and horrible)
> [Just in case it wasn't clear enough: antifas/radical-left in the US are pretty much a harmless joke, and by no means equivalent to the radical-right/extreme-right/alt-right/Nazis/white-supremacist/whatever threat]
Are you sure? The neo-Nazis and KKK may number in the tens of thousands. The ctrl-left number (easily) 10x that, and have media support. And have a proclivity for violence even when the alt-right aren't around. They are funded and organized. They are on the move.
Maybe this is democracy in action - but I see the alt-right (by the new new definition of neo-Nazi and KKK, not the old 4-chan definition), as a joke and that the Ctrl-Left is really becoming problematic.
Am I wrong? (It's possible - because it has happened more than once before)
