The 114th through 116th sessions of Congress.
Right? {snicker}
I think an extremIST person or philosophy is one which is willing to or advocates the use of violence—actual physical violence, or criminal activity.
Because most people think of extremists as being willing to use violence, the extremists on the left are assiduously promoting mere speech as violence, and opinions as genocide.
This is slander; slander is illegal, therefore those people are extremists.
In the eyes of 2023 demoncrats, JKF’s overall platform was extremist.
In their eyes, extremism comes in two flavors.
1. Anyone who opposes them and stands a chance of diminishing their power is automatically branded extremist.
2. Anyone who is a) clearly unhinged b) not a member of their movement is branded extremist so as to make the victims of Rule #1 (above) guilty by association.
As example of #2, there is nothing “right-wing” about the Neo-Nazis (except their appreciation of firearms) yet the Marxists/demoncrats [pick one] brand them “far right-wing extremists,” in the hope that the stigma attached to them will rub off on other groups, like Oath Keepers and 3%ers, who they disingenuously label “extremist” for promoting traditional American values.
Politicians always portray their opponents as outside the mainstream — as radicals or extremists, far left or far right — so it’s hard to give a definition.
But I knows one when I sees one.
If you believe in constitution you’re an extremist.
Extremism is a propaganda word to marginalize people with “wrong” opinions.
I confess my position is republicans are awful Dems need to be killed
Extremism begins with a philosophy that is outside the bounds of rationality; and it proceeds to go outside the bounds of the law.
Extremism is a propaganda word to marginalize people with “wrong” opinions.
