Since we are on the run-up to an important election, allow me to ask that you bear in mind that there are significant differences between the parties and what they have to offer. As one canny observer puts it, “The ‘far-right’ is developing flying cars, self-landing spaceships, and unrivaled military tech.” Savor those scare quotes around the phrase “far-right.” Then ponder what the other side is all about. “The far-left don’t know what a woman is, sterilize themselves, kill their babies, and hate their own race. A godless death cult that only destroys.”
