1st time I went to New York 20+ years ago, my friends (we were teenagers) and I are on the subway. Guy trying to be entertaining and panhandling says:

My prior post didn't quite say what I wanted.
Guess we are doing it again
Back in 2020 I made this image when this happened: ihttps://religionnews.com/2020/06/02/ahead-of-trump-bible-photo-op-police-forcibly-expel-priest-from-st-johns-church-near-white-house/

Guess we are doing it again
Ahead of Trump Bible photo op, police forcibly expel priest from St. John’s church near White House
WASHINGTON (RNS) — An Episcopal priest tells RNS she was driven from church grounds ahead of Trump’s staged photo with a Bible.

Also thank you for your reporting.

Thank you for giving me that context! I was trying to look for the reason I had used a meme generator to create that image years ago

I have this from 2020. Somehow applicable?

It's not just conservatives. I, a Midwesterner, saw a friend from high school a few years ago and mentioned my trips to Seattle and Portland the prior year and he acted like I visited bombed out hellholes.

He's a moderate who hates Trump! Info environment just cooked everyone's brains.

The Eurozone and China have roughly the same GDP.

I think the Americas in total have about the sum of Eurozone and China.

So you can make a pretty good set that way

I think GDP can be split in 4:
The US
All of Europe plus Canada
China + Japan + Koreas
Latin America + Africa +rest of Asia

I think it's clear which would be the behemoth in this
