The way things are going, it's getting harder and harder to see the good in America. I know not everyone is like what we see in the news, but there's clearly enough to allow things to keep happening.
I feel sorry for the regular people in America.
It is a very slim minority of very loud people who are actually evil, who have inveigled a regrettably large number of people who are not necessarily evil but are short slighted and easily manipulated into acting against their own self interest.
Being an American does kinda suck these days though as a result.
Having seen how the world treats Russian citizens, no.
But that is later, after things get worse. Fur now there are plenty of options for those who have money, or are brave, or talented or some combination. Everyone else here will suffer through it
I'm guessing that this is pretty straightforward politicking. A lot of the populist-right crowd in the US has historically been adamantly Protestant. Catholics were also a big issue for the KKK, too.
Yeah, it's mostly not very Catholic, but Whitfield County is a notable exception. Gordon County, which is also somewhat-Catholic, isn't in her district.
And it looks like that county had the weakest support for Trump of all the counties in her district (though it was still pretty overwhelmingly pro-Trump, 71.9% in favor of Trump versus 27.5% for Harris).
EDIT: Might irritate some of the MAGA crowd elsewhere in the US, though. And probably not the sort of thing that'd go over well with the right in Poland...
I think she should really start going by her biological sex instead of just identifying as a woman. That's a badly built butch body if it's an actual biological woman
Can we not? MTG could look like Sofia Vergara and she'd still be an ugly piece of shit. All commenting on her appearance does here is make decent people feel bad about themselves. Transphobia doesn't suddenly become acceptable because you're trying to turn it back on somebody evil.
I'm a cis woman but it's comments like these that made me feel ashamed to be tall in high school. That may have been well-intentioned sarcastic transphobia, but when you poke fun at celebrities for their bodies, it's only other people who hear.
The "private" chatroom from a while ago seems to indicate that, indeed, they believe their own shit. It would be worrying to have these people in position of great power, wouldn't it?
Yeah, the thing a lot of Catholics in America don't wanna look at is the fact that we very well might see another schism between American Catholicism and Roman Catholicism within our lifetimes, possibly within a decade. The American church has been drifting REALLY far from the RCC, and not in the good ways.
What is italian christianity? Do you mean catholicism?
If you do then, no it doesnt have cult like behaviour. Lots of catholics, lutherans, calvinists, hugenots, zwinglinists and anglicans dont even get near cultish. If they wouldnt tell you, at none of their behaviours would you notice which religion if at all they are a part off. Its not an every day talk topic like with the free churches, prespetarians, mega churches, quakers aso in the US.
The church is getting constantly mocked in media. On good german media that had a focus on it is "Das kleine Arschloch" (the little asshole). Media that mocks church, jesus, or anything religiouse is often banned in america.
The catholic church is openly being critisised for their money hording, pedophilia, hiding CSAs and their priests owning CP occasionally.
Churches are empty.
A german joke is:
"How do you get rid of your local priest? Show up to church. Gives him a heart attack from someone suddenly being there"
Georgia elects horrible people: news at 11 (but only the executive branch approved news agencies, everyone else has been locked out to preserve alternative fact distribution)
If anything he was "rescued", or "promoted to headquarters" if you will. Because he was too good a man for these times ahead, and sadly had been getting weaker for a while. And the world is morally poorer for his departure.
I don't view the Vatican as the shining beacon of light it wants to be, but Pope Francis was a great Pope, who more than talking, walked the walk and lead by example. Loved by catholics and even people of other religions, as well as many atheists/agnostics. A unifying force of good.
Yet before he went he made sure his last big act was to admonish Vance and the Trump administration. Good on him.
