    If you want a precise, neutral test for who's an extremist, the best might be anyone who says "Anyone who's not with us is against us."

        Another good definition: "One who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."

        Reminds me of when someone compared GWB saying it, with the Star Wars prequel at the time where someone says “Only a Sith would deal in absolutes” — that, of course also being an absolute. Which is to say, it’s a tenuous test at best. Some times there are clear rights and wrongs.

        That sounds more like divisive to me? I'm sure entire scholarly papers have been written on the subject and there's no one definition, but ADL seems like a solid starter source: https://www.adl.org/resources/glossary-terms/extremism …pic.twitter.com/Gu8GE0IXGG

        [Forgot Image Alt: Image shows the http://ADL.org  website with a definition of Extremism. It says: Extremism: A concept used to describe religious, social or political belief systems that exist substantially outside of belief systems more broadly accepted in society1/3
