Does that apply to the dogs in Antifa and BLM the Democrats cozy up to? They are still rioting in Portland.

LTC David Brown - Does saying "Black Lives Matter" Make One Extremist? Does Flying the Black Lives Matter Flag Make One Extremist? Being Against Racism Make One Extremist? Someone is going to be very busy arresting All the Extremist in My Apartment Complex. Does being Against Fascism "ANTIFA" Anti-Fascist Make One Extremist?

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - NO... But flying the BLM flag WHILE RIOTING makes one extremist. Being ANTI FAscist WHILE BURNING DOWN BUILDINGS makes one extremist. Being Against Racism WHILE SHOUTING ABOUT KILLING WHITE PEOPLE makes one not only racist (and thus hypocritical) it also makes one extremist.
Not everyone in the BLM movement is extremist. Not everyone who believes that Black Lives Matter is even in the BLM Movement. Not everyone involved with ANTIFA is extremist. Not everyone who believes that fascism is wrong is in ANTIFA.
But... there are ENOUGH BLM and ANTFA folks who ARE extremist that is gives those groups a definitive extremist feel.
I will admit that the overwhelming majority of Neo Nazis, White nationalists, Proud Boys, and other crazies on the far right are extremists. But that is to be expected - they are the FAR right. But those on the left ALSO have to admit that the overwhelming majority of those on the far left are extremists. Not all of those folks identify with BLM and/or ANTIFA, but enough do that those are the easy targets.
