In the UK, it seems like “trotskyist” is used pretty much the same way as “antifa” is here in the US. It’s a nebulous concept of some kind of sinister group of bad people who do bad things, and if anything bad happens, well, what do you know, looks like they were to blame.
I bet you one million dollars Rowling has zero fucking clue what a “Trotskyist” is.
