Just got mine this week!

For sure. Even having lived in the states for my whole life, with the particular loudness and intrusiveness of the government at this time, I do tend to forget that the government =/= (many of) the people. Thank you for reminding me to monitor my frustration, most of us are on the correct side.

It was a wine and despair fueled attempt at a joke (not a good one). But I take your point and admit that my initial post sucked. Categorically, the cities that have been unwillingly put on the front lines deserve joy and victories both over the armed occupations and in sports.

My profound distaste for evangelicalism does seem to lead to posts that sound like I’m some variety of mainstream Christian, which is wildly off brand for me. I’m actually a fairly insufferable atheist, I’m just willing to make some allowances for the less awful, quieter branches of Christianity.

I feel like it’s self evident that the attempted January 6th coup whitewashing is the most egregious, but I’ll be damned if the “He practiced politics the right way” “champion of free speech and free debate” doesn’t give it a run for its fucking money.

Oof, something worse than a very large bird.
