Time to reconsider where you live.

They often endorse conservative candidates outright or imply who to vote for through heavy social pressure.

Evangelicals have been trying to get rid of the Johnson Amendment for many years so they can receive tax freedom and engage in politics more freely: https://www.npr.org/2018/03/22/596158332/another-effort-to-get-rid-of-the-johnson-amendment-fails

Weird mustache-man is making a comeback.

This stuff is eventually going to be the end of the EU.

People in rich countries don't like people with different color skin from other countries.

it's society gathering to decide a person has crossed a final threshold and we must all send a clear message.

Yet, the United States, the only western country allowing capital punishment as a form of punishment, is doing significantly worse on violent crime than all other western countries. It doesn't work.

Capital punishment is not an option, ever. Life in prison is the more severe punishment. The government should not be murdering people in an act of revenge.

There's a reason why every other developed country in the world has abolished the practice. It's downright disgusting.

Abolish capital punishment

This must be some clueless yanks who think they can import their idiotic "hustle culture" here.

It's Elon. Screw Elon.

I think it might be worse to encounter a twice-impeached former president who was found liable by a jury for sexual abuse.

Many of the women who support Trump are also devout Christians. They see Trump as sent by God as a protector and that he's surviving assassination attempts because he's shielded by God himself. They believe Trump is God's shield to protect women and Christians from the world. In many Christian homes, there's already a very clear gender hierarchy with men above women, and many Christian women grow up with it and accept it as God's design. They may also face significant pressure at home to accept Trump no matter his behavior.

Trump has also really ramped up the religious rhetoric about himself when speaking. He knows the dynamic by now. It's pretty wild.

"Both sides"

As far as I can tell from Google, the fastest route at the moment is about 9 hours. Not a huge difference, but still more than 10 percent faster.

Awesome!

Reading your description of the place you live in just reminds me how incredible different people live their lives. Such different lifestyles. I can't even comprehend living in such a remote place. It's no wonder that people are divided in almost every way.

That's the good thing about a monopoly. You don't have to worry about customers choosing another service.

Abolish capital punishment!

The retail side is also just a huge ad for Amazon as a company. It's what everyday consumers know even if it doesn't provide a huge amount of profit. It creates name recognition.
