How is it ironic? Anarchists were a big part of the First International and left-anarchists can usually be considered to be socialists. They are not polar opposites, rather communism and (left-)anarchism are the statist and republican/federalist (loosely authoritarian and libertarian) expressions of the same underlying ideology of human equality.

> expressions of the same underlying ideology of human equality

I have no clue how any equality minded person could vote republicans or trump.

I get that you want to point out the overlap of the ideologies, but I don't see how they are remotely attributable to the current political landscape. (Strictly in the equality matter)

I didn't mention anything about the current political landscape? I did write republican/federalist, but republican is meant in the dictionary sense, not the US political party.

Trump is not a socialist or an anarchist of any kind (I have a hard time believing he has any political ideology or even ideas about governance at all), and neither are the vast majority of the political establishment.

		Well the previous commenter mentioned the trump/sanders crossvoting, I guess you just ignored that to focus in the ideologies. Maybe it just reads weird or I read it weird, to read trump at some point and someone else ending the sentence with equality.
