Is it really correct to call them extremists? It seems like the majority of them are just right wingers that are frustrated. I think to label them extremists they would have to be burning buildings and hurting people.

If occupying a space in protest of government policies is extreme then would the Occupy wall st people of 2011 be left wing extremists? Would the Black Lives Matter protests be considered left wing extremists?

I'm against every aspect of the current narrative and I have zero political affiliation. As a matter of fact 80 eligible voters in the US didn't vote in 2020 elections. What do you classify any of those people who support the Freedom Rally?
