It is likely that quantum computers will soon be able to break the encryption methods that secure your passwords and anything else kept under digital lock and key. Here's a little demonstration, purely for illustrative purposes, to give a better sense.

Almost all parties lost votes to the far-right extremist AfD, but they won the most votes (~ 2m) from non-voters.
AfD voters meanwhile didn’t really move at all. So much for pandering to the far-right. You play on their terms, you lose.
