It's time to take this seriously, to institute de-radicalization programs before we lose complete control of society and we awaken one day to a racist, misogynist right wing dictatorship.
The far right radicalization of young men is a serious issue. Fanning male rage was a big part of the MAGA movement and is part of the game plan on the Polievre Conservatives.
