If Shireen thinks McMullin is a conservative, then it should follow that Utah conservatives will vote for him.
However if you are pretty progressive, it might seem like anyone less progressive than you is ‘conservative’. And then you might support or agree with calling regular conservatives “extremists” as McMullin has done repeatedly.
So maybe we make the country a better place and stay away from calling people we disagree with “extremists”? But that’s just me.
