The problem with the far left is they use Trojan Horse politics.
They talk about "inclusion" and "tolerance" and "social welfare", but as
soon as they have any power, they start pushing their fringe politics.
They simply hide their intention.
People keep falling for it over and over and over again. How do you
think you end up with Drag Queens shaking their ass in front of 5 year
old kids who stuff dollar bills into their g-string? How do you think you
end up with schools teaching children about fringe far-left sexual politics
and "the gender spectrum"? It was by accepting very, very innocent sounding
programs which seemed, on the surface, to be totally justifiable.
