Why is (n-1)(n+1)=n^2-1?

n^2 - n + n - 1

The basic answer is that you cross-multiply the values in each factor:

(n - 1)(n + 1)

What is price of the "liberal celebrities" e.g. Bill Maher, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, Desi Lydic etc. to join the great MAGA movement like Stephen Colbert who wanted to European ambassadorship to turn back on "the Left"?
