The young women of the West are not okay. They are bawling and screeching. They are locking arms and ripping papers. The best—or at least the most credentialed—minds of their generation are proudly displaying various ways of being destroyed by madness.

Elon Musk is the world’s richest man but also the number one target of the world’s richest governments and their associated industrialists.

The phrase “death with dignity” perfectly describes the Democrat attitude toward democracy. It is now very obvious that for Democrats, democracy has a terminal diagnosis: Donald Trump.
