I had a really good friend in the US who wore a t shirt just like that. Its a weird thing because he was so kind and generous. I once asked him if he would give help to me and my family if we needed it and he was so offended just at the question. I then asked why would we be different to an immigrant family that he didnt know.Throw religion into that mix and that’s when it gets scary. That’s what is driving this agenda the hard line Christian Right.

It’s weird it really is.
As you say the Lincoln project republicans that want him out are the only real hope.
John Oliver's latest show focuses on Election Subversion and is truly terrifying. The main action could be away from both houses this time round and may ultimately lead to Republicans "winning" the next election, regardless of who actually wins.
It's really starting to feel that, other than upping sticks and leaving the country, there is very little hope for sane American voters.
If you are under 60 and don't have a passport or driving licence how can you vote?And that kind of stuff is seeping into the UK - we are currently seeing boundary changes and the introduction of voter ID with the ID requirements easier for the elderly to satisfy than the young.
