Worth a read. It makes me wonder how America hasn’t fallen apart sooner. They’re still dining out on the religious extremism that led them to steal a whole f’ing country in the first place.
If just, ya know, stumps me. How do people really think Jesus was white? How do they believe a man who was a socialist killed by the state would want them running around doing exactly that? And that’s just within their own rule book, you can add a whole other layer for their relationships with science.

It's worth noting there are more people in the US who don't believe this nonsense that do.

Oh for sure, the majority actually support equal rights, abortion rights and gun control. But that Evangelical group is far more entrenched and wide than even I realised until the last few years.

Indeed. Millions more. A popular vote election process in the US would see the Republicans never be elected again, not without some significant changes to their core worldviews.

"Imagine being a heterosexual white male in Britain at this moment. How bad is that. Everything you say is racist, everything you say is homophobic. The Woke community have really f****d this country."
In the UK, homeschooling is overseen by the state. The education has to be of a decent standard.
I used to teach history to the children of some friends. Very bright kids, but the parents eventually decided it was better (socially and educationally, not to mention the burden of teaching) if they went into the conventional school system.

The best way to understand the layers of intricate political machinations of the Tudor court is to use the analogy of Painting and Decorating with a brush vs a roller, Tarquin you grab the brush, Amelia you will start with the roller...

I made small wooden ships and we re-fought the Spanish Armada on their dining room table.

That is, indeed, what is driving their efforts - a fear that if power slips from their grasp, they may be forever left behind.

I've never understood the arguments against just having a pure popular vote for the Presidency. It's elected separately from the Senate and House so there's no need to divide the voting into states/constituencies like we do here. Proponents of keeping the Electoral College like to say that it increases the influence of the states, but they already have that through Congress. And in reality, unless you live in the Mid-West, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina or one of the swing districts in Maine and Nebraska, your vote means very little in the current system because 99% of the time you know which way your state will vote.

It's exactly the same with Constituency boundaries and First Past the Post in the UK, which is the one-size-fits-all way that we elect the leader of the Executive and the members of the Legislature.
Both result in the party most aligned with big business and establishment power being returned more than half the time, and being able to spoil a more progressive agenda by forcing the non-establishment party to campaign on the centre ground.

I can never understand how you can be a right wing Christian. I’ve come across so many racist and uncharitable churchgoers over the years it’s mind boggling.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.
