DEMOCRATS ARE STILL SEEN AS THE RADICAL PARTY BECAUSE GOP RADICALS IN CONGRESS ARE NEARLY INVISIBLE

Usurprisingly, a GOP member of Congress has decided to suck up to Trump by backing his imperialist quest for Greenland:

A Republican congressman from Florida introduced a bill Monday to annex Greenland and make it the 51st U.S. state as President Trump threatens to seize the autonomous Danish territory....

Rep. Randy Fine said his new legislation would authorize Mr. Trump "to take whatever steps necessary to annex or acquire Greenland." ...

"Greenland is not a distant outpost we can afford to ignore -- it is a vital national security asset," Fine said in a statement.

That's from CBS News. Axios also reported on this, referring to Fine as "a staunch Trump loyalist from Florida."

This is how the most radical Republicans stay under the radar. They're described this way even if they're extreme -- and Fine is very extreme. Meanwhile, the media continues to portray the mostly very moderate Democratic Party as in thrall to dangerous radicals, and a large percentage of the public believes that.

How extreme is Randy Fine? This is from a New Republic story published last summer, shortly after Fine won a special lection to replace UN ambassador Mike Waltz in Congress:

Last week, ABC News reported that 15 people in Gaza had died from starvation within just 24 hours, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. Fine responded to the report by wishing for more death and then claiming that it was all a hoax anyway.

“Release the hostages. Until then, starve away,” Fine wrote on X. The post continued, “(This is all a lie anyway. It amazes me that the media continues to regurgitate Muslim terror propaganda.)” The same day, Fine was appointed to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

This was too much even for the American Jewish Committee, which condemned the remarks. Fine was unfazed.

He also supports murdering pro-Palestinian protestors.

In another post Sunday, Fine revealed that the only thing he really supports is murder, pushing for a bill that would allow drivers to run over pro-Palestinian protesters blocking bridges and roads with impunity.

“The Thump Thump Act will allow Americans to run over these Muslim Terrorists,” he wrote. “They don’t try this in Florida because of the bill I helped pass in the Legislature to allow them to be run over. It’s time to take it national. Thump thump.”

“To be clear, the Thump Thump Act will also allow you to run over BLM, Antifa, illegal immigrants, and anyone else who intentionally blocks roads! Thump thump!” he wrote in a separate post.

Fine has said this about Palestinians on Twitter:

There are demons that live on Earth.

They deserve no state.

They only deserve death.

My first bill in Congress will be to recognize Gaza and Judea and Samaria as part of the State of Israel and to call for the expulsion of these monsters from Israel.

Last spring, he implied that Gaza should be nuked, then doubled down:

“In World War Two, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis,” Fine had said on May 22. “We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here.” Fine did not qualify his statement at the time.

Today, he said: “People claiming I said Israel should nuke Gaza are idiots. But remember, they may be from Gaza, and in Gaza, 50 percent of people are married to their cousins, so obviously they do have a lot of people who aren’t very smart.”

When he was still a state legislator and running for Congress, he proposed a bill banning the display of "political" flags at government buildings:

Sen. Randy Fine filed legislation (SB 100) taking aim at what a media release calls “fictional country flags like ‘Palestine,’ pro-violence ‘Black Lives Matter’ flags, woke and pro-grooming ideological flags, and the flags of any political candidates in government buildings.”

If the bill seems familiar, it’s because Fine carried it in the House last year. Now, he’s running it back in the Senate.

“Supporters of Muslim terror, child mutilators, and groomers have no right to taxpayer sponsorship of their repugnant messages,” said Fine....

“As I prepare to leave the Senate, I look forward to ensuring the only official place in a government building that you will find their flags is in a garbage can.”

More recently, he's called for New York mayor Zohran Mamdani to be denaturalized and deported.

Zohran Mamdani must be deported immediately.

The only thing I want to see him running for is his gate at JFK for his deportation flight back to Uganda. pic.twitter.com/tfRrtqmtrh

The people who endlessly denounce what they describe as Democratic "wokeness" don't talk about people like Randy Fine. He's barely known to much of America. Our political culture doesn't acknowledge the GOP's radicalism problem, or acts as if the radicalism is limited to the White House. And so much of America continues to believe that the country has two political parties, one that's radical and one that's Republican.
