Politics

Your post literally was doing that.Missed the point. I was saying that to show that the idea of Christians, the majority in the population by a vast margin with the most representation in government, being discriminated against in the United States is fake. Not even REMOTELY close.

Either that or it's a "No True Scotsman" situation.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty common knowledge that christianity and its subgroups is the largest practicing religion by a freaking massive margin in the US.

Something I've noticed after looking at the presidential election, is how sort of, let's say, divided the US is politically between city and countryside. It's a lot of blue dots and spots where the cities are while the countryside is very much more red.

It is a bit similar here in Sweden. But it is actually the opposite, the cities are (and are the only parts which are) blue (bourgoiose, right-wing) and the countryside is red (socialist, left-wing).

Yeah, that's pretty accurate for the US. Typically, being in large cities forces people to be exposed to other viewpoints (and forces them to get along with people who come from different origins), which tends to result in people leaning more left.

I don't know enough about Sweden and its demographics to say for certain, but I'm guessing that fact that Sweden has fewer large cities (and likely less immigration) than the US may play a difference.
