This is Toby. Toby thinks he is great. Toby likes to tell other people how they can be great too. Toby is what we call a right-wing person.

Right-wing people are people who think they are great. Right-wing people think everyone can be great too if only other people were a bit more like them. Right-wing people think they know how to do things better than other people.
Some right-wing people even think they know better than experts. If you have a tummy ache, normal people go to a doctor. Normal people listen to the doctor and do what they tell them to do.
But right-wing people dont like to listen to doctors. Right-wing people think they know better than doctors.

but I couldn't get past the fact that it seemed to be written by a 10 year old.

I always say that sarcastically to people "Hey, rich people are rich because they are smarter and work harder than the rest of us!" Well, that's what the idea of the American dream boils down to. Anyone can be anything if they just work hard enough for it in America!
