In the 15 months since Joe Biden stunned the nation with an ominous speech that turned the walls of Philadelphia’s Independence Hall blood red with optical lights, Democrats have beaten a relentless drum that the "Make America Great Again" movement is, as the president declared, “an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.”
Now the founder and chief of the MAGA movement is leaning into that extremism debate, and betting on a boomerang.
Former President Donald Trump told Just the News in an interview this week that he is plotting an all-out campaign to convince the American electorate that Democrats are in fact the fringe party, so out of touch with Main Street USA that they opened the borders to millions of illegals and deadly fentanyl, enriched Iran’s terror machine, put biological men in women’s sports and locker rooms, and advocated for abortion on demand.
“It is a liability. They are extreme,” Trump said of Democrats during an interview Wednesday on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show.
For Trump, this isn’t just a rhetorical flourish. A review of his last few months of his speeches, rallies, and interviews shows the 45th president and leader of the 2024 GOP presidential race has been carefully testing a messaging platform that paints Biden and the Democrats into an extreme corner on more than a dozen issues.
And while he hasn’t commandeered Biden’s hellish red lights yet, Trump has even invoked the devil’s home a time or two in recent days. Some commentators saw parallels to the movie "V for Vendetta" and even went as far to be make comparisons to Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl.

Ihis is fully appropriate . It has to be told loud and clear AT LAST . Thanks to D.TRUMP
Democrats ARE indeed extremists. But, as the party of Goebbels and Marx, they’re also expert propagandists.
By announcing changes in strategy or tactics, without actually imply them, you only give your enemy the time to develop a counter strategy. Just DO IT.
Oh, and BTW, nothing is as extreme as removing your opponent from the ballot in a country operating on democratic (small “d”) principles, NOTHING. Regardless of how (or when) the Supreme Court rules on this issue, Trump and those on his side should mention this CONSTANTLY. Put Biden next to pictures of Mussolini and Stalin, because that was their tactic.
Hit them, constantly, with all guns blazing. Keep knocking them back on their heels, never give them an instant to recover, let alone go on the offensive. Our nation’s fate depends on the results of this election.
“… without actually imply them,….”

Should be “…without actually implementing them….”
Barry Goldwater’s speech in 1964: Extrmism in Defense of Liberty is no vice, and Moderation in Defense of Liberty is no virtue.”
The correct quote is:
“Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.
Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.”
After he let them burn down the country with riots. Who would believe he suddenly cares. Fool me once.. Maybe he is flattening the curve. He is still bragging about that work with fauci.
