| Both the Left and the Right have a "cancel culture". And both the Left and the Right end up getting bitten in the arse by their own cancel culture. The excessively wok will demand any book that contains the N word to be taken from school library shelves. And this results in books like &qu... |

| AFAIK forced religious observance is still taboo in the UK except maybe for "faith schools" that have a particular designated religion, and nobody is forced by law or economics to go to such a school. Church and State are more completely separated than they are in the USA, and (for exampl... |

| When I was in primary in the 70s we said the Lord's prayer every morning with the announcements. For me at least, it was rote and I didn't think much about it but the "daily bread" part made me hungry for French toast. I don't remember there being any context for the prayer and they certa... |

| Are they going to make it mandatory for the kids to recite the Pledge of Allegiance AND the Ten Commandments? Theocracy marches on . . . :roll: Maybe they will also bring mandatory prayer to school and attach Bibles to the top of every desk. Mandatory prayer is what this has always been about, sadl... |

| I am scared of the implementation of Project 2025. Yet people will still vote for him because they think the Dems will take their guns and "oppress" Christians. That said, it isn't what Trump himself *could* do, it's what his state-level enablers, like Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis, are alr... |

| I hate being in my 40s. Very few people in my age group have the same interests as me, and I am considered a "dirty old man" by potential partners. I haven't worked in years, because the very few jobs in my field (and it's always been a small field) are contract, nothing permanent. And bec... |

Assassination wouldn't exactly be a panacea either, since if Trump wins that almost certainly means a bunch of his ghouls are also in power and also will need dealt with.

| Other countries aren't going to be your panacea, most of the people who conservatives want to hurt can't afford to just flee. Americans need to fix America instead of running away from their problems. This is very similar to the rhetoric that people have tried to use against me moving out of my cur... |
