Little Extremist Says What?

It's time to start seeing far-right extremists for what they really are.

You ever read one of those unhinged far-right rants and think, “This moron needs a nap and a bottle”? Same. That’s why I started Little Extremists—a video series where we take the loudest, angriest voices in politics and reimagine them as babies. Because once you do, their tantrums actually make a lot more sense.

First up: former Idaho State Rep. Chad Christensen. Belligerent, self-righteous, and full of well, you know what. Chad carries himself like he’s some gunslinger from the late 1800s, whining like the most fragile one in the room. He’s convinced he’s always right and everyone else is part of some deep-state conspiracy.

What he conveniently ignores is that the same crew who helped get him elected rely on fake accounts, confrontational tactics, and outright lies to tear down their opponents. But Chad doesn’t care about the hypocrisy, as long as it helps his team win.

Remember that scene in The Waterboy where Henry Winkler's character pictures the opposing coach as a baby to make him less intimidating? That’s the idea here. When you imagine these extremists as fussy little infants, their rage makes way more sense.

This is a guy who once strutted around as a supposed alpha male—an Oath Keeper, a III% militia member, a tough guy who once filed a SLAPP lawsuit against me for calling him a “sexual predator.” And guess what? He lost. He forgot that the truth is the ultimate defence against defamation.

Now he’s eyeing a seat in the Idaho State Senate, falsely saying he’ll represent the people of Southeast Idaho when the only group he’ll represent is the Idaho Freedom Foundation.

So yes, I’ll be releasing more of these. Extremists who cry about freedom while dodging responsibility are easier to understand when you picture them as crybabies.

And just like smelly diapers… they need to be tossed out of power and office.
