    Little-known fact: Evangelicals are in steep decline (but they vote as a bloc, multiplying their influence).https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/07/robert-jones-white-christian-america/532587/?utm_source=twb …

        Uncanny how Pinker always finds 'facts' that support his preferences. It makes you wonder which came first.

        But now the religious right will control the federal judiciary for a generation. They can declare any progressive measures unconstitutional.

        White republicans have more children than white democrats. Unlike immigration of non-white democrats, this can't be stopped by a policy fix.

        The focus on "religious freedom" legislation is the last desperate attempt to stack the deck in their favour.

        I think the eventual reaction to postmodernism is going to push people in to religion.

        Fascinating. This may be the reason that the GOP has for some time been preparing for minority rule. An attack on voter fraud is a must.

        Oddly, there seems to be resistance to an analysis of voter fraud at the previous election?http://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/03/politics/kris-kobach-letter-voter-fraud-commission-information/index.html …

        Presumably the author would describe Israel at having "nativist" policies.http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/netanyahu-illegal-african-immigrants-a-threat-to-israel-s-jewish-character-1.302653 …

        Too bad the far-left was so easily played by Putin to amplify the GOP Hillary-hate machine. Now the religious right will control the courts.
