At my (comparatively non-crazy) urban Dallas evangelical church, we were taught that we were constantly engaged in "spiritual warfare" and that the sinful conduct against which were were fighting constituted literal manifestations of Satan.
Some of those people still voted for Obama.

I dismount and walk my citibike whenever I pass by, and I feel that if drivers had to do that, we’d see change within the day.

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.
