You can google far right policies just like anyone else. I know you have a hard on for far left, while completely ignoring anything on the fringe right but try

Ok, I use Bing and this came up at the top.

What do you see there that is "Radical"?

There is a couple of articles about those on the far Right wanting to shut down the Government as usual, but there is always a fiscal responsibility argument involved. Radical? Other articles about the far Right caucus holding up past legislation. Radical?

Lots of stuff on far Right domestic terrorism which IS radical, but can you name any government official that supports it?

So, there is just not much "Radical" there. Stuff like taxpayer dollars to pay off student loans and inviting 10-15 million illegals who mostly can't support themselves fits the definition much better.

Really? How about zero gun control, deporting 11 million immigrants, and racial supremacism just off the top of my head. There is plenty of nuttiness on both fringes

Can we also add tax break to the top 1 or 2%. Maybe it is just me but I don’t see how this country benefits from giving tax breaks to people who already have more money than they could ever need.

Along with quinones conspiracy theories, white nationalism, on and on and on. Both fringes are bonkers

Former Red Luis Quinones has conspiracy theories? Who knew

White Nationalism IS radical ideology, but the discussion was meant to focus on our 2 political parties. Name a Republican that you consider a White Nationalist. What does goofy Q'anon conspiracies have to do with Republican policy?

It's appears that you are making the point that there are Radical right wing extremists living among us. Agreed, but that is totally different than the point I was making.

When he loses, (I really don’t know how he wins at this point), the republicans need to go back to square one and really think about how to win elections again. Only reason they won in 16 because Hillary may be a more vile person than trump. Republicans need to go back to who they used to be

Then they would be almost as disgusting as Democrats are today. Speaking of that, Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala.

There’s one that governs in your state—Jim Jordan

Or here’s another far right ideology:

Our elections are being stolen.

You call those examples of "Radical" ideology on the far Right?

What is ZERO GUN CONTROL and which politicians are advocating for it? We have plenty of gun laws on the books. Are you saying there are Republicans that want to eliminate them all?

You call wanting to deport people here illegally radical? Yes, it is kinda crazy to think deportation on that scale could ever be accomplished. However, rounding up as many gang members/criminals/terrorists as possible for deportation is the opposite of "radical".

What is racial supremacism? If you're talking about wacko leftists calling white Republicans racist.... it happens all the time. That proves nothing. In fact, the Republican party pretty much stands for a MERIT based America regardless of who you are. It's the Dems that have recently gone all-in with identity politics and CRT ideology.

So again, other than some on the religious right wanting to ban abortion or put the 10 Commandments in schools....not understanding what this " radical" far right narrative is based on.

Now there is obviously a laundry list of truly radical policies/ideology on the far Left....and most of it is MAINSTREAM Democrat Party. I could easily elaborate on request.

Can you point me to any far right republican that is for any kind of gun control? Hint: you’re not going to find one. You probably wouldn’t find one outside of possibly a few moderate r. Spare me your only far left ideological bs is harmful. Both sides are awful on the fringe.
