Finally Democrats across the nation are using the label for Maga Republicans that they deserve.
Extremists is a word that is too nice but its accurate.
Democrats Determined Not To Let Republicans Downplay Their MAGA Extremism

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) has released a new campaign ad painting her Republican opponent, Tiffany Smiley, as a MAGA extremist ― a strategy gaining popularity among Democrats seeking to maintain control of the U.S. House and Senate this November.
The 30-second spot, set to air on TVs across Washington state this weekend, features former Army Capt. Chris Franco speaking to the camera about how “MAGA Republicans” like Smiley are an existential threat for American democracy.
“I proudly served our nation and fought for freedom abroad,” Franco, who is from Renton, Washington, says into the camera before the ad cuts to footage of the J*** 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. “I never expected to see our temple of democracy ransacked here at home.”
“It’s so dangerous that MAGA Republicans like Mitch McConnell handpicked candidate Tiffany Smiley continue to question the 2020 e******n,” Franco says, referring to the Senate minority leader. “Their big lie is a direct threat to our e******ns and our democracy. Join me in defending America. Say no to Tiffany Smiley before it is too late.”
Smiley, a nurse and motivational speaker, is in a tight general e******n battle with Murray, a five-term incumbent, in a race seen as crucial to the balance of power in Washington, D.C.
The Republican has appeared to moderate her more hardline positions since advancing in last month’s primary, namely those related to the 2020 e******n. Smiley recently scrubbed her campaign website’s “E******N INTEGRITY” section, which parroted lies pushed by former President Donald Trump about v***r f***d.
Smiley has been photographed with Trump and previously said it would be “awesome” to receive the former president’s endorsement. When CNN’s Dana Bash pressed her during an interview last week about whether President Joe Biden won the 2020 e******n fair and square, Smiley did her best to sidestep the question, acknowledging that Biden is the president without commenting on Trump’s accusations that the e******n was s****n.
Smiley is slated to speak at a GOP event in Yakima County, Washington, this weekend alongside Dinesh D’Souza, the bunk historian and e******n conspir****t. D’Souza’s debunked “documentary” about the 2020 e******n, “2,000 Mules,” will be screened at the event.
Smiley’s campaign didn’t immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment about her appearance at the event, or a request for comment about Murray’s new ad.

Republican candidates across the country have recently shifted their focus from e******n denialism, as Democrats grow more aggressive in painting the GOP as a party overtaken by extremists.
Murray’s ad echoes the line of attack formulated in Biden’s 24-minute prime-time speech delivered from Independence Hall in Philadelphia last week.
“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” Biden said.
After acknowledging that not every Republican is an extremist, Biden added: “But there’s no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country.”
Murray struck a similar tone in another ad she released last month, in which she recounted her personal experience of the i**********n.
“On J****** 6th, I will never forget the pounding at the door,” the senator said in the ad. “We barricaded ourselves in a small office in the Capitol. The MAGA mob did everything they could to stop the peaceful t******r of p***r.”
“MAGA Republicans want to seize power in this year’s e******n,” Murray continued. “Our democracy is in real danger. It’s up to all of us to save it.”

When you cannot run on your miserable record you have to resort to fear and h**e. Just shows desperation.

Again, no matter how many times you say it America is not a democracy. This is why the left is having such a hard time accepting e******n results when they lose. Hilary Clinton didn't get the popular v**e until California submitted their v**es, rather they were valid or not. I feel sorry for you not supporting a Make America Great Again statement and wonder if you even know what's it referring to and not the closed minded definition you have given it. What pleasure do you get from spouting balogna and calling Americans names? Must be hard to be this miserable.

This is so stupid. You can call me an "extremist" with no consequences, yet, if I call you a n****r, I'm banned for life on any media platform. Double standards. Period.
You l*****ts love to call names. But, only names accepted by you. You h**e, and ban any comebacks in name calling. Because you're weak, and have nothing going for you.
I'm just glad I live where I do, because the first one of you q***rs who sends a toenail across my property line will catch a faseload of 00 buckshot.

When Texas turns blue maybe you'll begin to understand.
Democrat registrations are 10 to 1 over Republicans. This fall could be very different in your state.

Where did you come up with this information or is it just another one of your trolling comments! Why don’t you come on down to Texas and meet some of our redneck welcoming committee members. You might find out just how RED we are! We have some Biden supporters scattered about………funny thing is, the higher their groceries get, the more threatening gun ownership is, the more their kids are messed with, the more RED they turn! 😉
