There's little if any practical difference between a person who does a shitty thing because they want to, and a person who does the same shitty thing because the other guy wants them to. I stopped drawing a line between racists and people who will trade racist shit for tax breaks a ways back myself. I'll negotiate, though, we could call them only moderately shitty? That's all we can be talking about anymore with that party. People who have plenty of shitty ideas, just not the full cornucopia of shitty ideas. Maybe they're holding something back to run for higher office later.
Whether or not a person is a moderate is determined by whether, when he has to decide, he sides with the insurrectionists or the democrats. If he sides with the insurrectionists he is but an extremist who when not called on to actually act, like to also have the benefit of not being seen as an extremist.
