i wouldnt say so. what makes it extreme is that it sits at the far end of the political spectrum. a good analogy would be hot and cold (I’ll use Fahrenheit bc I’m American). anywhere from 60-80 degrees is generally tolerable even if it may not be comfortable. 90 degrees is a temperature nearly nobody likes being at but it isnt extreme, its just uncomfortable. 100 degrees still isnt quite extreme, but it is dangerous if you aren’t careful. anything above that is an extremely high temperature. you could mirror that onto the other side of the tolerable range I mentioned and it would be the same. extreme does not mean unpopular, it means so far outside of a tolerable range as to be excessively bad (whatever constitutes ‘bad’ in-context, often dangerous). unpopular is a separate, arbitrary thing that only describes approval and not how extreme something is.
