But for every one of them, how many of their peers are still in it? I'm the only one from my generation who got out of my terrible religious upbringing.

That's because many of them are old enough to remember a time when you were supposed to be quiet about your racism because you knew the rest of society would shame you for it.
Unfortunately, America has never reached the point where a majority of people felt shame about their transphobia, so in their minds it's okay to be more open about that.
He's an actor whose biggest role was playing Hercules on a low-budget show on a third-tier network in the 90s. Now, as far as I know, he's only getting work in shitty evangelical movies.
Or when Howard Dean "ruined" his political career by whooping at a rally because it "wasn't presidential."
Our expectations are so low right now that putting together two cogent sentences could literally mean that you win the election.
I'm pretty sure that white supremacist ideals for maintaining a white majority in the US has more than a little bit to do with this. It's gross.
A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I don't see "Caper" yet.
"Thanks for stopping by; thanks for breaking my cow lamp," is still common parlance in our household.
And "The Cheat Is Not Dead" is a classic Strongbad hit.
I wonder what would happen if the world found out that Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (or any other celebrity/athlete/role model) was using Chat GPT to respond to fan mail. My gut feeling is that people would find it disingenuous at best -- and there would probably be significant outrage.
Where's the AI that does my dishes and cleans my house so I have more time to write, create, and connect with others? That's the technology I want -- not one that does the meaningful part and leaves the menial stuff up to me.
The convicted felon?
It's pretty telling that they are trying to portray Marxists, Hermeticists, Luciferians, and Gnostics as united -- or possibly even as the same group. Those circles of the Venn diagram might share some overlap, but (in my experience) their goals and principles aren't very similar.
I am old enough to remember that. My, how times have changed.
Also, remember the time that Howard Dean tried to stir up some excitement among his campaign supporters and was knocked as "not being presidential"?
This is truly the Darkest Timeline™.
Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?
It was the musical, so it was not a cheap ticket. I don't know how they didn't know it was not going to be supportive of their worldview.
US politics have moved so far to the right that I'm pretty sure contemporary moderate Democrats are nearly interchangeable with Reagan-era Republicans.
