February may be the Dog Days of Campaign 2018, but for the law-and-order National Union every day is a dog day. Resorting to tired old tropes that "real men" are not cat owners and men who don't like dogs or are scared of dogs are effete liberal soft-on-crime pussycats, National Unionists are portraying themselves in their campaign for the 51st Congress as owners of big dogs such as German shepherds, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls.
National Union is punching above its weight (a paltry 26 seats in the 50th Congress) but they do appeal to old he-man macho male values, men's rights advocates, men who fear the end of the traditional patriarchy ("you can't spell patriarchy without Patria" say some National Unionists), men who fear that crime in Patria is out of control and men who feel threatened by the Social Democrat-Amrita axis.
#patriavotes2018 Election Day is April 21. Don't forget to stoop and scoop. There's plenty of dog shit on the campaign trail.
