Fringe Fairy Tales

Who the real extremists are:

A core belief in the Democrats' mythology is that they represent mainstream political hopes and dreams in America. They convince themselves of this by rarely, if ever, associating with anyone who isn't ideologically in sync. When selling this idea to their low-info base, Dems are fond of saying that their way of thinking and doing things is what's acceptable throughout the Western world. The politics of Republicans and conservatives represent an extremist fringe that's loathed by our allies, according to the tale. You're either on board with their globalist new world order, or you're a knuckle-dragging, populist rube whose horrible parents never let you read cartoons from The New Yorker when you were growing up. If you look at elections around the world right now, however, that's not really how things are playing out. There may not be a MAGA wave crashing on the shores of Western countries, but it is plain to see that not everyone is on board with the Left's statist fever dream.
