Radical Right or left is also a person's views.. Example Ted Cruze is one of the Radical Right members in Congress. Sure he is t crazy on every issue, but yes he certainly is on quite a few..
The entire Benghazi ordeal, the non stop trying to do away with Obamacare.. The fake outrage because Hillary used her own mail server.. The denial of global warming ect..ect..This is all the mindset of radical right wingers.
Robbie is one of the first in line to jump on the bandwagon of every new right wing outrage.
Example of radical left wingers would be the people who want to ban all guns or groups like peta.
Obviously you don't have to run around the woods naked saving trees or throw paint on woman in fur coats to have radical left wing views.. Just the same as you don't have to be some anti govt loon wearing camouflage and carrying a m16 to be a radical right wing views
The diffrence of the two, is the radical right wing views have become mainstream within the Republican Party and their so called independent fan boys.. You don't see the same radicalization of the left.

Radical is a nice way to say "extreme" - it is defined in the political world as someone who supports extreme political views. I don't see you as extreme, but perhaps some would.
"An average 43% of Americans identified politically as independents in 2014, establishing a new high in Gallup telephone poll trends back to 1988. In terms of national identification with the two major parties, Democrats continued to hold a modest edge over Republicans, 30% to 26%."
So the extremes in the dem party support, perhaps, jailing or even execution of the rich assholes who collapsed the financial system. Others say that there can't be such a thing as racism against white people, failing to understand that that statement in itself is in fact racism. Another may (and did) advocate Barack Obama having a 3rd term against constitutional law. Sometimes extreme is stupid, sometimes just dangerous.
Provocateurs are not extreme, they just say they are. Most extreme people on the internet are provocateurs, rather than true believers.
Robbie is not extreme. He is not even a middle of the road republican. He is not a radical republican in his actions, his words, or, I suspect, his thoughts. Although I'm trying to imagine what Robbie thinks and it is not a healthy exercise - I don't recommend it.
Most of us are independants; some like me who tend to support dems, some who want the system to stay locked so neither party can implement its nightmare visions of dystopian society. I'd tend to put Robbie there, in the right leaning independent section.
Enough channeling the grand Paul Markham - wall of text over.
