On both sides, I have long seen them as being simply different sides of the same coin.
Far Right, Far Left, I honestly can not tell the two apart anymore. And anybody even slightly to the other side of those groups is automatically shoved into the other extreme.
At least in my experience, those on the Far Right have no problem in stating that those on the Far Right are nutcases and should be ignored. But more and more I am seeing a lot of people on the Left saying that all should accept the Far Left mindset, and anybody that does not is a Fascist.
Even a lot of my Liberal family members are starting to distance themselves. With my aunt it was over forcing people to accept genetically and fully male men into restrooms, changing rooms and in female athletics. For one of my sons it was the violence and riots that broke out in many cities a month or so back and is still going on in some today. Even my wife has totally distanced herself over the entire immigration nonsense.
And unless they figure out what they are doing wrong, 2028 is going to be a repeat of 2024. They have gone so far to the Far Left that they are quickly losing the Center. And for either side politically, it is not their own supporters that decides elections it's the huge numbers in the center. And I am shaking my head as they are pushing the center completely away from themselves.
Everybody should be condemning the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Hell, even Martin Luther King III condemned it.
The conservative commentator’s death has fueled online backlash and reflection. King’s son says healing is the urgent task. The shooting

I am now pretty much dismissing anybody that approves of such actions. I simply can not tolerate the type of people who would promote violence over actual discourse.
Point of clarification.......
"Far Right, Far Left, I honestly can not tell the two apart anymore."
Let me help.
There is no Far Right in this nation.......only a Far Left that has taken control of the Democrat Party.
Let me prove it.
....the only extremists in the nation are the Leftists/ Democrats
You will not be able to find any radical views on the Right.
"Radical" is important to the discussion. It means "especially of change or action relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough" (see Google.)
It's what the radical Obama was getting at when he said “We are five days away from
fundamentally transforming the United States of
America.” — Barack
Obama, October 30, 2008. “
Transforming from the positions that America was built on.....into the Far Left.
Radical positions as opposed to traditional ones identify "Far" Left

“Transgender Athlete Chelsea Wolfe Says Goal Is To 'Burn a US Flag' at Olympic Podium”

1. ...
traditional marriage, that involves one man and one woman, and compare that with homosexual marriage.. Which one is radical?
2. Another of those positions under regular discussion is
'prayer' in the public arena....Congress opens each year with prayer. Opposing prayer is radical....religiosity is traditional in America.
3. Is 'free speech' embraced by one side, and opposed by the other? You betcha! Obama's Supreme Court nominee says it would be
be proper to suppress speech because it is offensive to society or to the government.
Starting to see a pattern?
4. While we were founded on the biblical idea that all men are created equal,
LBJ advanced a two-class nation based on skin color.
....this radical view was advanced: affirmative action. Hence, Democrats....the Far Left.
5. Here's one more radical position by the Left....
fighting to elect a sexual pervert and admitted liar and disbarred lawyer to the White House: Bill Clinton
Relative to
American traditions, values, and history ...championing a man of such low character is a radical position.
Hence, Far Left..
6. Franklin Roosevelt threw the United States Constitution under the bus, and used the public fisc for all sorts of endeavors not authorized in Article 1, section 8.
A radical and Progressive position.
He was the ultimate "Far Leftist."
7. Under Franklin Roosevlet
the federal government was transformed from one of limited & enumerated powers only to the Frankensteinian monster it is today. ....the regulatory welfare state where the federal government regulates business and commerce, natural resources, human resources, ...
Under the Progressives, the federal government was no longer limited by the enumerated powers delegated in the Constitution; ...
Radical to the utmost....hence Far Left.
8. Under Roosevelt's NRA, most manufacturing industries were suddenly forced into government-mandated cartels. Codes that regulated prices and terms of sale briefly transformed much of the American economy
into a fascist-style arrangement,
"...
into a fascist-style arrangement,..."
"A New Jersey tailor named Jacob Maged was arrested and sent to jail for the “crime” of pressing a suit of clothes for 35 cents rather than the NRA-inspired “Tailor’s Code” of 40 cents."
No surprise here:
FDR's New Deal was a copy of Mussolini's economic program.
Could anything short of setting up concentration camps for our citizens, be more radical???
Oh...wait....he did build concentration camps for innocent civilians....his own citizens.
9. How about
The Far Left's Gender-Agenda., versus the Right's stand for tradition and reality: "Republicans Battle to Roll Back Washington's New Transgender Bathroom Rules"
Really....could there be a more pertinent example of the radical, insane Far Left's corruption of tradition and history???
Could there?
10. The corruption of the press by the Far Left: the JournoList Scandal: hundreds of
Leftist journalists plotted to minimize negative publicity surrounding Obama’s radical ties. They plotted to smear the other side with lies. Peter Zenger....spinnning in his grave.
A clear affront to the honor bestowed on the press by the first amendment.
And don't forget this winner......men can menstruate and have babies and women can become men.
And several times, I've presented this challenge: If you have used the fallacy "Far Right," or extremist for the Right, or radical Right, or never considered its usage
, see if you can come up with any radical positions by conservatives, the right wing.
