Here we go again.
In its quest to narrow free speech and neutralize its political opponents, the Left is whipping up hysteria about “extremism” raging across the land. This hyperbole is designed to lay the groundwork for the persecution of the philosophically and religiously conservative. The term “extremist” is thrown around very loosely, covering everybody from “libertarians” to “Christian nationalists.” The latter group is the subject of increasingly frenzied discussions on cable TV and in dominant newspapers. Sometimes reporters lengthen the description of the group to “white Christian nationalists” to make it sound even more sinister. All of this inflammatory talk, naturally, comes from the same liberals who decry the “intemperate rhetoric” of Trump and normally scold others for “baseless claims.”
