Where is the outrage over Democrats’ extremism and outlandish comments?

After Tuesday’s election, much of the conversation focused on how, once again, Republicans must surrender their values, ideals, and beliefs. Politicians, pundits, social media accounts, and heck, even some Republicans repeatedly said things such as GOP voters are “too extreme” or “out of touch.” Yet, such things never seem to apply to Democrats.
Consider the recent remarks of twice-failed presidential candidate and former Sen. Hillary Clinton. She claimed that Tuesday’s elections revealed that people in the country were moving away from extremism — and then proceeded to make extremist comments herself.

“And secondly, that people are moving away from extremism,” Clinton said while on The View. “They want to have leaders who are trying to do the best they can to take care of our real problems, not make up stuff and cause all kinds of commotion. And it’s kind of like getting back to the real business of governing.”
Yet, just a few minutes later, Clinton warned that if former President Donald Trump won the election in 2024, the United States would cease to exist and end “as we know it.”
“And I don’t say that lightly,” Clinton said.
She acted as if this rhetoric is not hyperbolic or extreme at all. A political rival warning of the imminent doom and collapse of society if Donald Trump becomes the 47th president is par for the course of the normalization of Democrats’ inflammatory rhetoric.
And if that doomsday prognostication wasn’t enough, Clinton then participated in the favorite extremist pastime of Democrats: comparing Trump to Hitler.
“You could see it in countries where, well, Hitler was duly elected, right? And so all of a sudden somebody with those tendencies, so dictatorial authoritarian tendencies, would be like, ‘OK, we’re going to shut this down,’” Clinton said. “Trump is telling us what he intends to do. Take him at his word.”
Furthermore, this isn’t the first time Clinton compared Trump or his supporters to Hitler and Nazis. The person who just said “voters were moving away from extremism” has a long history of being an extremist.

Democrats and the Left’s antics must not fool people. Such a classification means nothing other than people who disagree with the Democrats are an opposition and threat to left-wing political ideology. They then blame Republicans for being extreme or out of touch to hide and deflect from their extremism.
Unfortunately, too many people in this country have fallen for their schtick, and voting patterns reflect it. However, Democrats such as Clinton must still be called out for their extremism. After all, it’s the Left’s policies that support extreme measures such as killing the lives of the unborn, restricting speech through Big Tech, and paving the way to totalitarianism.
