The Right Stuff

by Steven Kent

“Amy Coney Barrett under attack by right wing after USAID ruling”
The Guardian

“Trump’s polarising appeal leaves European populists in a tight spot”
The Guardian

It’s never clear, to those who lack the stuff,
Exactly how far right is right enough:
Eleven on a ten-scale? More? Still higher?
How much does MAGA membership require?
You can’t be merely sure, you must be surer
Who cares if you create an awful Führer?
