how you define extremists - I'm more tolerant of people who want to campaign and try to make most any change via the democratic process via voting no matter their position. I'm less interested in those who feel we should invade the capital to try and overrule the outcomes of elections or violently intimidate opponents.

Yes that's the correct approach to define them.

Hmm, I actually disagree that extremists should only be those who want to go outside the system and use violence. I would also find trying to effectively and knowingly go against the 1st amendment extreme too. I think that extremists also need to be kind of at the... extremes of a political spectrum also. In fact, I do find it useful (maybe we need a different term) for a way to talk about if someone is in a very edge AND niche position of their group.
