@Susan_Larson_TN So much of USA politics is entangled in religion - especially the Abrahamic ones.
Since the Mayflower landed, Catholics escaped Europe, Jews established control of banking and media etc there's been a problem. Hopefully things are moving into C21 rationale?
@Susan_Larson_TN I find US Republicans not just weird but extremely scary.
