Oh please, this isn't even in question. I've got two words for ya: dOnald tRump.Which of the two political parties has been more 'hijacked' by political extremists, and why? The Republican Party or the Democratic Party? State your case.
The Dems have been hijacked by the milquetoast, latte sipping, "Oh, was that democracy that just got drowned? Maybe we should say something. Refill, please!" extremist.
I'm confused by the terminology. I thought elite libs were progressives?Lol, so true! The problem with Dems isn't the progressives, it's the elite libs.

As much as I dislike how far modern liberalism has engaged in 'woke' cancel culture hatred of just about everyone else, I do offer that Trump has far more damaged the Republican Party to the point of being the de facto Christian Taliban Party.
Unless Canada is a radical leftist idea, there is nothing radical about Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren, and AOC. Bernie Sanders and Justin Trudeau are almost identical in policies. Bernie is more conservative than FDR, Truman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower(R.).Which of the two political parties has been more 'hijacked' by political extremists, and why?

It seems that many people don't understand that 'radical' and 'extremist' are two very different terms. Of course some people purposely conflate them as a tactic.

Which of the two groups commits more crimes, the guards or the prison inmates? A case? Besides the radical indoctrination of the massive right-wing propaganda machine? What's the point, when facts like the Republicans believing the obvious lie about a stolen election don't show them that's radical?Which of the two political parties has been more 'hijacked' by political extremists, and why?

The Republican Party hands down. The Democratic Party certainly has its share, but they are still just loud and annoying exceptions to otherwise normal operations. Left leaning mainstream journalism is certainly biased, but they still go out of their way to make sure they are reporting facts, however skewed to one side, and they own up to it when they mistakenly report something that isn't true. The Republican Party actually embraces lies and fake news as a political tactic. They are just as biased but without any concern for facts. The only information Republicans care about is that which advances the party, and false information that gets conservative votes is treated no differently than true information that gets conservative votes.Which of the two political parties has been more 'hijacked' by political extremists, and why?

I meant the latter. And since we're comparing levels of bias, I don't think its redundant. Left leaning mainstream journalists (CNN, MSNBC, and the like -- not talking about "Occupy Democrats" here) generally put truth before their political bias, even when that bias is obviously present. Right leaning mainstream journalists (mostly Fox News,) are more willing to sacrifice truth if it means strengthening their party.If that means to claim mainstream journalism is "left leaning", you're wrong. If you mean "the part of mainstream journalism that is left leaning is biased", well, that's debatable but sort of redundant.

CNN is definitely left leaning as is MSNBC. But they don't even compare to the bias and unreliability of Fox News.I agree with the rest of your post, but saying 'the part of media that is left-leaning is biased' is redundant, in that if biased means it has an orientation, you already cherry picked that by selecting the part that's 'left-leaning'. It's like saying "Expensive restaurants tend to cost more." I disagree that CNN is 'left leaning', and even the parts of MSNBC that are, have the situation that 'left leaning' and 'most accurate' are combined.

Republicans on average put party before country. Democrats on average put their country before their party.
