The world feels like it's becoming and scarier and scarier place. And our leaders seem to be working for themselves instead of the people. Who in your government or which political influencer -- pundits, news media commentators, individuals who have some kind of political influence on the masses, et al--do you think is doing the most harm to your country and you wish could be stopped?

For me in the US, it's the outspoken far-right religious politicians like Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Boebert who have very little understanding of what they're talking about most of the time, are often hypocritical, and whose statements are sometimes straight up lies or exaggerations and they are never held responsible for it. But they have a large influence on religious voters who they can scare into believing things that most people can often prove are false.

I would say news pundits from multiple networks who are purposefully and willingly giving misinformation, purposely leaving out important facts to fit a narrative they're trying to push. If you look at someone like Alex Jones who just a month ago was crying in court about the havoc he has created for victims/parents of the Sandy Hook shooting- he was crying like a baby about how he 'didn't mean it' and shouldn't be held responsible for his actions punitively. But yesterday he's back to his old ways. It's not just conservative networks, liberal networks do the same and have the same problem with credibility because they can't stop themselves from trying to spin the information.

The religious zealots in this country are doing a lot of damage to our whole republic.

    I just want to remind you American pandas that even though he is not in office now, D**k Cheney actually shot someone in the face.

    As a Floridian, it's Ron Desantis. He revels in hate, bigotry, bullying and cruelty. It's his stock and trade. Beware.
