The Paradox of Right-wing Extremism

They prioritize security, but their bigotry only fuels the terrorists' recruitment efforts.

They promote military spending because they want to keep us all safe, but neglect to enforce gun control right here at home.

They love the right to bear arms, and believe it makes us all safer, while every study shows that owning guns increases the risk that you or your loved ones will be killed.

They claim to be "pro life" yet murder innocent men and women in abortion clinics.

They claim to be champions of families, but tell same-sex couples, who are deeply in love, that they can't be married.

They claim to be Christians, but rather than preaching tolerance and love, they demonize other religious groups.

They claim to care about the economy while continuing to cut taxes on the richest 1% and refusing to raise even the MINIMUM wage.

They certainly don't seem capable of understanding basic causes and effects. If they were, they might actually recognize the unintended consequences of their actions and stop fucking up. But let's not be too optimistic.
