Time to fight back against Republicans framing all the issues

8. I agree about calling them extremists. That's what they've become.

Also their counterparts on the far left. No coincidence that many ruthless fascists are also, or previously were, socialists as well. Just check out Mussolini's or Hungary's Viktor Orban's ideology; their parliament now serves him and recently voted to allow him to rule by decree and to arrest people who object. The U.S. held on November 3, but Hungary is no longer a democracy ruled of, by and for the people.

We have to admit that framing arguments for those who believe as those committed to do is not going to affect either extremist group. Truth and facts only make people who support extremist leaders and illiberal cultural goals double down on their beliefs. On both sides, fostered by populist leaders, those beliefs are that liberalism (the Democratic Party in the U.S.) and thus democratic elections are destroying their country and that only the ruthless imposition of their virtuous RW or LW beliefs on all will save them.
