2. A large portion of American Evangelicals genuinely believe that by supporting Israel they are helping to bring about armageddon.

AKA, death cultists who are eager to kill us all.

more of a tool for manufacturing consent

What else is religion most of the time?

sanctity of life

Unless that life happens to have brown skin, or is wearing a uniform…

Does that mean he has actually lost support, or they have just got real quiet about their ongoing support for him?

We had a cold winter, good snow pack and a wet spring. Should be a low fire season.

At least for the first couple of months.

Hopefully there will be some long, slow soaking type rain events (as opposed to thunderstorms) every few weeks through the summer to keep the forests damp enough to reduce the risk of multiple fires.

Even if American history books are written by Trump cultists, the rest of the world still has historians who are watching.

The orphan wells fund exists.

It’s just underfunded and overwhelmed

People who know me, they know my views, and my views have not changed.

Does that include her anti-vax views?

Or her anti abortion views?

Or her pro “conversion therapy” views?

.

As much as I like seeing people publicly reject PP, I’m not thrilled at having someone with her regressive social policy history in government.

A lesson that will set us back at least 50 years.

At least.

I’m sure the US isn’t happy about anything that makes others less dependent on them.

And I really don’t care.

They have given other countries a lot of very good reasons to extract ourselves from the US’s influence.

Including, apparently, supporting a political movement that wants to exterminate them.

and this will be reversed in the courts

Eventually, after much of the damage is done and essentually irreversible.

I voted conservative once. Never again

Same. Back when Joe Clark became P.M.

He’s had power for too long and is entering the “power corrupts” phase.

Entering?

He has been there for years.

If someone this batshit is running from PP, how much more insane is the remaining core of the CPC?

The American Catholic Church leadership is extremely conservative however and they hate the pope,

Even though the current pope is literally one of them. An American Catholic.

You understand that magats are typically protestant right?

The vice president is (or claims to be) catholic.

But, again, they aren’t the only ones in that category.

My uncle still says the “Communism” Harris would have brought would be worse.

We’re you brave enough to ask “how, specifically?”

It won’t for a few generations, and that’s only if we at least attempt to bring the architects to justice and go after MAGA and its supporters like the Nazis they are

It is refreshing to hear that there are some Americans who understand that.

International relations with the US don’t automatically become awesome after Trump is out of power (regardless how that exit happens).

You guys need to fix the stuff he broke, punish his co-conspirators and fix the systems that allowed someone like Trump gain the power to do what he has done.

That is going to take longer than a single reasonable president’s term.

The rest of the world needs to be able to trust that the USA won’t go down this road again.
