    I can at least understand what’s being said by a few of these, but do we have an official, on the books, definition for what constitutes “extremist” views, or what “traditional American values” are in this context?

      Traditional american values to maga: lobotomies, slavery, ownership of women, murdering people for their land, and polluting everything.
