There’s a weird murky area where some definitions of racism exclude xenophobia depending on the circumstances.

While I get where you’re coming from, we have to be careful not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If he can convert a few dozen old men from hyper-racism to everyday-subconscious-white-racism, that’s still a rather significant improvement for those few people.

We probably need the reverse, for liberal people to move to conservative swing states.

A significant difference, but that Protestant/Other group contains both the evangelicals and the non-evangelicals. If the white evangelicals pull as strongly for Trump as they do (81%), considering how numerous they are, that means that everyone else in the Protestant/Other group has to be pretty solidly liberal to…

CORRECTION:

I didn’t know you were posting it sarcastically. I’ve seen this argument made seriously before, and it’s infuriating.

There’s so little cohesion any more between mainline Protestants and evangelical Protestants that it’s getting very hard to act as if there’s one Christianity any more, particularly with respect to politics.

This is a horribly reductive graph. I definitely agree that Trump’s “Christianity” and all his Christian followers are a problem for our country and society. However, blaming the ups and downs of scientific advancement on Christianity in this manner is an argument full of holes.

It’s like GameStop doesn’t even know what it wants to be any more. They want to be able to have launch events and advertise that they have the newest releases, but their real profit comes from used sales.

Voters are more serious about watching screeners after the nominations are out. Unless the producers or distributors send out lots of screeners prior to the nomination process, no one sees a narrowly-released movie. Apparently that didn’t happen with Your Name: there were no screeners.

Again, from someone who lives in the area and works in tech, I don’t doubt there were a few Trump voters in the mix.

While there are probably some Republican voters, tech companies and game companies in NC tend to be split between the Democratic and Libertarian parties (since the Libertarians actually win elections here periodically).

I thought we already resolved the question of whether states can secede 150 years ago.

When people criticize costumes in games, you have to remember that what’s at the root of it is the game perpetuating an already-existing trend.

1. It had its micro-release in November to qualify, but it still got to US cinemas more widely in early January (as voting was occurring). Your Name still hasn’t had a wide US release.

While this film could have potentially competed in the Foreign Language category (which is friendlier to movies released on odd timetables), it barely released in the USA. They only just barely got inside the 2016 deadline, but hardly anyone here has seen the movie.

Everyone should remember that the UN security council is largely responsible for the fact that wars have not escalated to the catastrophic levels seen in the two World Wars. It is also arguable that the security council process has prevented the continued use of nuclear weapons.

It’s not as horny as some, but I can recommend the recent War & Peace miniseries from the BBC.

They don’t “keep” money “for themselves,” but they do have rather high administrative costs.

It took a few different platforms to fail in a row before Sega pulled out. Even though the Dreamcast was a solid platform, its poor sales following immediately behind the poor performance of the Saturn was what pulled Sega out of the console industry.
