    Trump has convinced them to ‘fight’ their fellow Americans for some unknown ‘freedoms’ they think they’re losing. Mostly freedom to religiously oppress those they disagree with, and freedom to be racist bigots.

      The Puritans were religiously oppressed into leaving England for the New World. That is what we were all taught as children. This kind of bullshit is why the English didn’t want them around anymore.

        So can we push them off to the next place then? We’re mostly out of unpopulated landmasses now though, so maybe offer them a nice flotilla of plastic drums and rusted-out truck beds in international water somewhere??

        I once heard a comedian joke about how America was a country founded by people that were too uptight for fucking ENGLAND. And fuck me if it ain’t the truth.

        Have you ever noticed how some Puritan beliefs parallel with Jehovah Witnesses?
