“Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.”

Simplified Meaning:
When people come together to push for big changes, there will always be a small group within them that seems extreme or a bit crazy. Think of a neighborhood wanting cleaner parks. Most people just want less litter and more benches. But there's always someone who insists on unrealistic ideas like covering the entire park in gold tiles. This small group can make the whole movement look bad or hard to take seriously. It's important not to judge the entire group by the actions of these few intense individuals. Instead, focus on the sensible, achievable goals most people are working towards and don't let the extreme opinions distract you from the main purpose.
