Yes they are…somehow if you are a person who believes in reasonably traditional values you are now the radical threat to the democracy…
I suspect more and more of us are to a point where we’ve had it with the nonsense and are ready to tell the kooks to piss off.

I’m not sure OP was talking about Biden. I wouldn’t group him along with the Squad-like crazies.

You are gaslighting.
Here is what Biden actaully said about crime.
Thomas Sowell said - “Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.”

Weird statement for him to make being that he was alive for MLK, X and. Fred Hampton.

I would suggest it is in fact RW media and the far right GOPers who have pulled off the tactic mentioned in the OP.
The following things were consdiered ‘moderate’ years past:
- sensible gun regulations
- Americans should get vaccinated against deadly diseases
- American elections should be respected, and power transferred peacefully
- Government spending on infrastructure is a good thing for everyone.

Fair. I suppose then not all activism is performative only. The kind that’s prevalent today sure seems to be.

Facts remain…you have radicalized the center/moderate Americans.
And don’t tell me BS that libs are for law and order. You’re lying through your teeth.
Don’t tell me you care about working man…you’re lying through your teeth.
Don’t tell me you’re not for foreign interventionism…you’re lying through your teeth.
Don’t tell me you’re for freedom of speech…you’re lying through your teeth.
Don’t tell me you’re against spying on follow Americans…you’re lying through your teeth.
Don’t tell me you care for the homelessness…you’re lying through your teeth.
I can make this list go on and on…but you all get the picture.
Those are all moderate positions that you have radicalized.

They don’t hold a candle to the maga camp when it comes to radicalizing folks. Not even close.

And they are speaking out more and more…even to a point that authoritarians libs want to sic homeland security on em.
But it doesn’t change their position now does it? They are moderate positions that libs have radicalized.
And that what really scares libs.
You are gaslighting.
Here is what Biden actaully said about crime.

Now y’all are for Fund the Police!!! like we don’t remember what went on not too long ago.
Y’all are hilarious.

This type of thinking has been in the conservative firmament for years. And despite the fact you have been steeped in it for much of that time, it “just hit you”.
You go on to articulate this non-revelation with an extreme oxymoron (radicalized moderates), and top it off with snark about “lib ignorance”.
This crowning achievement in thundering mediocrity is peak MAGA 2022 energy.
Pure Eric Trump vibe.
Well done.

Apparently normal people just trying to work their way through life, make a few bucks, and mind their own business (which pretty much describes much of the center) are now “authoritarians” or something - lol
No, they are a threat to authoritarians when they refuse to buy into the new normal of multiple genders for their kids to choose, open borders, white privilege etc. it’s like they don’t need to be told what is normal by the elect. This is why the Biden administration had to,sit right down and write themselves a letter…to have Garland spy on parents going to school board meetings.
