They were once considered the fringe. You would look at them and ask, Oh boy, how could anyone be so off-kilter? I speak of the right-wing extremists. Today, I read a story from the Jerusalem Post on the extremists in Idaho (I'm surprised the Jerusalem Post is concerned about Idaho and would write such a story), saying the extremists have been emboldened. Emboldened by how they were able to carry off a insurrection in our nation's Capitol? Emboldened by what they have been able to do in Idaho, their home state? Whatever it is, we have arrived at a juncture where the far-right is "emboldened". Not only that, but many of our friends and relatives believe in the cause of these extremists.
