@SLICEOFHOME The same #Utah legislature that just banned gender-affirming care for #Trans youth? My head is spinning.
Why is the USA so extremely right-wing conservative!
Why do Americans seem to be unable to resist the temptation to try to force their views on everybody else. They try to ram their wretched religion down everyone's throat even though most American 'christians' are closer to devil worshippers than the 'real' christians. They fog-horn about democracy even though their own 'democracy' is a sick joke!
Why can Americans not just live an let live?
@Paulos_the_fog @BruceMirken @SLICEOFHOME my experience of having lived there is most people do live and let live. As ever the vocal minority stir up trouble and sadly the gullible and often undereducated believe them, aided by Fox News. It’s amplified by the fact the USA has a huge population, so a minority is a lot of people. The worrying thing is the Tories are linked into the US far right factions. Folk like Gove, Truss, Mordant meet with them regularly.
@lassielmr @Paulos_the_fog @SLICEOFHOME I claim no great expertise re: UK Tories, but it seems like they and our Republicans have been birds of a feather at least since Thatcher and Reagan. Ugh.
@Paulos_the_fog @SLICEOFHOME One could write several volumes on the origins and evolution of America's national delusions. But more of us dissent than may be apparent from abroad. We persevere.
