No CNN, you're not going to succeed on making me watch your videos, no matter how absolutely unhinged Harry Enten looks.

This Harry Enten tweet from 2018 is a permanent memory in my head.
Tweet from Harry Enten (@ForecasterEnten):

Most people: Who cares about polling? People who think they're informed but not: You can't trust polling. People who are somewhat informed: Nice new generic ballot poll. Junkies who have no lives: WE GOT A VERMONT POLL PEOPLE.

I'm searching through the results of the word "COVID" in my photo library, and they just keep getting better and better. This was from a university building.
Whiteboard with several things written on it:

- "Beware! Presence of asbestos, nuclear waste and COVID" with most of it rubbed out so it looks like it says "Beware! COVID"

- "CORONAVIRUS IS FROM [illegible]"

- "#TEAMBIMINI"

- Some sort of circuitry diagram with messy and unreadable handwriting next to it

This is what the sensible middle ground looks like.
Wikipedia page for Vox (political party), public profile section:

Neo-Nazi controversies
Vox initially included some former neo-Nazis in party cadres and lists; Vox has since expelled some of them from the party, while others have resigned. The most notable example was the controversy surrounding the historian Fernando Paz, the party's leading candidate in Albacete for the April 2019 general election, who resigned after suffering what he described as "a mediatic hunt", due to Holocaust denial and homophobia.

Homophobic statements
Multiple Vox politicians have made allegedly disparaging statements about homosexuals.
Thus, Fernando Paz Cristóbal (ex-leader of Vox in Albacete, who left the party in 2019) said in 2013: "If I had a gay son I would help him, there are therapies to correct such psychology". M Francisco Serrano Castro (ex-leader of Vox in Andalusia, who left in 2020) tweeted in 2017: "Homosexuals have penises and lesbians have vulvas, and don't be fooled, nobody cares about it". Juan E. Pflüger (director of communications of Vox in 2019) tweeted in 2013: "Why do gays celebrate Saint Valentine's day, if their thing is not love, it's just vice".
