There are still people who keep old English learnable(indeed, you can get some pretty good online courses)- and unlike Latin, Greek(Greek programs would barely exist anymore if it wasn’t for evangelicals buying ‘New Testament Greek’ lessons to cover expenses), or Hebrew, this isn’t due to religious necessity.

Im wondering if these books are ones nobody wants to store, rather than being priceless treasures- IIRC libraries destroy books almost constantly as part of normal inventory management. That’s also probably the lowest cost provider.

You are supposed to use hollow points for big game, although it’s not necessarily the law in every jurisdiction.

I hunt with an AR-10, but it is indeed correct that you cannot deer hunt with an AR-15- although they are wrong about the mechanism.

For industrial uses? I’m not sure what they do in chemistry labs.

Texas law is Like That, because the dominant party is dominated by Germans trying to regulate Mexicans and Scots-Irish, and has been for a long time.

Why would the Chinese bother when selective breeding with 145 IQ parents is so much easier?

Most alcohol poisoning in the US is using homebrew that was messed up somehow. Sometimes this is a fungal contamination and sometimes it's making methanol instead of ethanol. Industrial alcohol contains something to render it undrinkable, but this is normally gasoline rather than methanol.

In a US political context, 'widespread voter fraud favoring democrats which sometimes changes election outcomes' is not a lunatic fringe belief. It is the belief of normie republicans and everyone knows it, and it's not a deal breaker for swing voters(who often do believe in shady electoral chicanery on a limited basis, like in specific cities).

It's the belief of a minority of American Evangelicals that supporting the state of Israel can bring about the events of the book of Apocalypse.
Most Evangelicals do not believe this, although they often believe that supporting a Jewish state on that particular plot of land is commanded by God and the country which does not do it will be punished for it, with no strong eschatological matrix for that belief.

Italian and Irish Americans are also not in any particular beef with MAGA.

The Catholic Church is not as pro-immigration as many claim, and it does allow positions that code as conservative on immigration(there are cardinals saying this, even). But Catholic conservatives not being thrilled with anti-immigrant politics is probably why it hasn’t seen the same success as many other conservative policy crusades.

The reason what is a woman was so effective is that the activist approved definition raises its own questions in a way answering ‘trump’ to ‘who won the 2020 election’ doesn’t. That is what redefining known categories into metaphysical abstractions inherently does. The ‘who won the 2020 election’ question is an effective way to tie the opponent to Trump, but most of these people don’t need that- they tie themselves to Trump plenty on their own.

Teens don’t want to hang out with their parents most of the time, but they’re usually pretty happy to hang out with 30 year olds and talk sports or whatever. There’s lots of thirty year old conversations they have no part in, obviously.

Conservative venues may not have the same paranoia and fingerpointing, but this is not because young women are seen and not heard(they aren’t)- it’s because casual sex is frowned upon.

Republicans did used to pretend to care about this in a way democrats never did- Bush as the wholesome born again Christian was part of the campaign in a way it wasn’t for Clinton or Kerry. Trump being Trump thats no longer the thing, obviously.

Yes, not everyone has a dad, I get it. Try to take care of bastards, learning how to be an adult from normie adults is the way to learn. Should she learn things from retarded woke ideology, instead?

Why? It's healthy for teenagers to hang around adults and see how they behave instead of going off of movies about frathouses. I remember when I was a teen and ran the grill when my dad's friends were watching football; nobody asked who drank the one mormon's share of the beer if it didn't get more than that.
You do know teenagers are supposed to become adults, right? Like that's the whole point.

It seems like a perfectly normal part of maturation? She's going to start hanging around thirty year olds at some point.

The strawman is real.
American nationalism is more or less incidental to these people's worldview- they believe in a Christian culture, that might be led by the USA or France or Canada or Spain or any other particular country. They are however, Americans who believe patriotism is a virtue and notice there aren't a lot of other candidates. Most of them are probably Catholic supremacists; but they do believe in a broader Christian culture and focus on that. Moreover, many aren't traditional Catholics; American traditional Catholicism exists in a broader landscape of orthodox and politically conservative Catholicism heavily influenced by John Senior and, despite the personal sympathies of John Senior, the traditionalists are not the largest group therein(that would be charismatics). It is extremely possible that John Senior would have preferred a more moderate group had the religious landscape in 90's Catholicism been different; certainly the SSPX is a minority of self-described traditionalist Catholics today in a way it wasn't in the 90's. It is probably fair to say that they have an ideological... predisposition to further integration with Latin America, even if that comes at some cost, and this is probably why they generally oppose strict immigration enforcement- because they think in terms of civilizations and not nations, and they are elites who tend to like western hemisphere integration anyways.
If you're asking 'why does the GOP struggle with American ethnic nationalism' that's a fair answer- they simply do not have access to American ethnic nationalist elites, because America is an empire and doesn't produce ethnic nationalist elites. Instead they have... that.

She was low class trash- just like everyone else in this story. Trailer trash shrieking at each other is simply beneath the state's notice.

There isn't a 'labor union left'. There is a labor union faction in US politics, but it backed Trump in the last election, and is more or less just a corrupt machine.
Abbott and Desantis are officially ‘not sûre’ who won the 2020 election.
