Not just 60 years. About 500 years.
The right has become a transnational attack on the progress of the Western world of the last 60 years: a collection of freaks, bullies, weirdos, idiots, and zealots, driven utterly insane by the Internet and Covid and their own self-reinforcing propaganda
This isn't satire. This is a real headline published in the UK.

He was put in prison and forced to listen to over 300 hangings, before which the prison would sing to soothe the victims. "I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”
He used his doctoral thesis to expose Apartheid South Africa's secret nuclear program and then included detailed instructions in his forced confession, which a judge read aloud in court, on how to sabotage all of the critical facilities.

Whether it’s Hillary Clinton losing $20,000 on a land deal in Arkansas or Donald Trump taking billions of dollars in oil revenue from Venezuela and stashing it in a secret bank account in Qatar, both candidates are guilty of some shady financial dealings.
