Republicans finally elected a House Speaker. And while Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise were cast aside for being too extreme, the person who finally won is hardly a moderate. Meet House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Everyone is so convinced that their own religion is the one true religion, they unabashedly try to force it on others. No one is special. We are all the same

I don’t know Johnson seems pretty extreme. Also, he’s pretty weird.

They weren't cast aside for being too extreme imo. It's because voters know who they are by name and ads saying this Republican voted for Jordan or Scalise would hurt their reelection chances. Saying they voted for Johnson who nobody knew doesn't cause the same damage.

He’s a quiet, under-the-radar fanatic. Infinitely smarter and more dangerous than Jordan or Scalise.

From what I have heard/read, Johnson is more extreme than Jordan and Scalise. He just has been more quiet about it.
