Give me a break.
Edit: elaborating a bit....this lady's positions are far from "extreme". There's a good segment of the population that support the same opinions. You can't have say (spitballing a number here) 30% of the population agree with something and call it extreme.
I don't call things extreme because I disagree with them. I call things extreme when they are extremist positions, like the current CRT rhetoric and abstinence-only initiatives. It doesn't matter what percentage of the population holds the position, no matter how uninformed or misinformed they are on the topics. They are positions rooted in right-wing extremism and I will call a spade a spade.
I have a question for you. Do you consider Medicare-for-all a radical or extreme position? I consider it to be a radical one that I actually agree with, and so do roughly 40% of Americans.
