Generally I don't really know how to feel about how this is supposed to really weigh into the sociopolitical dynamic. Politically speaking you get a direct contention for legislative seats, but the social bodies that that represents are after separate things.
I don't feel unclear on conservative extremism, as there has been a long history wherever you look with it manifesting itself, commonly through the upholding of religious values that people internalize. On the other side of the aisle, luckily, modern American liberalism doesn't have left-wing extremism to the likes of socialist reformists trying to take over the government. Talk about culture wars and the perils of identity politics, sure, but our liberalism does have footing in our educational institutions. So we do develop social awareness with an empirical filter what have you that helps us not have to resort to our left-wing being tribal to the same extent that the right-wingers do on their own accord.
I mean I was looking into Timothy McVeigh to ponder a bit about anti-federalist extremism, but then again you can reduce that to a bit of conservative extremism. Along with that, he was a Republican. Until later towards his execution he had core beliefs in God.
