Opposite of far left. The terms are widely used and understood. Google them if you need to know more.
OK, so what's your definition of far left, aka liberal extremism? You asked us to provide our definition of MAGA (extremism) and we responded. We're just comparing opinions, so there's no fact checking involved - just personal perspectives, no AI stuff.

Off the top of my head, and without putting time into a deeper answer, "The Squad" personifies left-wing extremism. The founders of the organization Black Lives Matter personify left-wing extremism. Kindly note that that BLM group existed before George Floyd was murdered. They hit an undeserved jackpot with the popular phrase Black Lives Matter took hold. Robert Reich personifies left-wing extremism. Bernie Sanders does too.

And the disfunction continues.....
From the article:

"The crisis within the Michigan GOP may be the most dramatic example of the rift that has grown within the Republican Party across the US since Donald Trump left office, with members clashing over election denialism and the US Capitol attack. In Michigan, a crucial 2024 battleground state, internal divisions over religion, interpersonal politics and the leadership’s handling of party finances have left the state GOP in disarray. Disagreements have even devolved into physical altercations in the last year, prompting law enforcement to intervene in at least one case."

Trump is leading in Michigan by 8 points. An unprecedented margin for Trump in the polls. Regardless of the disarray and financial difficulties of the Michigan GOP, their candidates will benefit from a considerable amount of Trump coattails because it’s a presidential election.

Nancy Pelosi knew how to count votes before bringing a bill to the floor. That appears to be a skill Speaker Johnson has not yet developed.
It's more likely that Johnson hasn't developed the skill to know when someone is lying about how they intend to vote. Two or three likely did just that. The absence of Steve Scalise didn't help matters either. Now we'll see if Johnson will make them regret their duplicity.

And it's highly likely that MAGAt's newly-minted Speaker's tenure will endure long enough to have to the time to gain the experience to do so.

Quote of the Night

As news breaks that the Democrats flipped the NY-03 US House seat today in a special election, GOP Rep. Troy Nehls (TX) reacted.

“'Until Republicans learn they need to get into the slop with the pigs we will continue to lose elections. We should have never brought the Santos vote to the floor,' Nehls told CNN."

Regarding the question raised by this thread, "What's Wrong With the Republican Party?," Nehis seems to think the problem is the Republicans have failed "to get into the slop with the pigs."

That’s why the Left is so desperate to have Trump disqualified or removed from running for president. Without him, the party will have little chance of winning a majority.
