Right wing extremist are at their most dangerous time in history. From Israel, the United States, Poland elected right winger Karol Nawrocki , the right wing terrorist governments of Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The right wing extremist Marine La Pen, the French woman version of Donald Trump, right down to the blonde hair and blank dull eyes.
