New York City

[NashVol11]

I think it will be awesome to watch.

And the destruction of NYC will be glorious to watch.

I'm almost hoping he gets elected.

I really hope he wins. I can't wait to watch the meltdown of NYC.

Excellent. I am going to enjoy watching NYC burn.

I will get a fair amount of schadenfreudic pleasure out of watching NYC burn...

You’ll deserve what you vote for

No, the earliest was 1973 and over a half century is not recent. In South and Southeast Asia homosexuality is illegal (see below).

Those two lists (Congress and criminalization by country) do nothing to indicate that SEA doesn't have higher historical tolerance than the US. In your list of Congressmen/women I now see 1969 too, and even that's very recent considering the topic is historical tolerance. Homosexual relations were illegal in the US from British rule until for the most part the very late 20th Century and 2003 nationwide, and cross dressing bans were enforced into the late 20th Century, so we definitely don't have a history of tolerance.
On your list of countries, in Southeast Asia there are Brunei (made illegal by the British in 1906), Malaysia (made illegal by the British in 1871, some states imposed restrictions starting in the 1990's), and Myanmar (made illegal by the British in 1886). Those are very recent dates considering the history of the cultures, and the criminalization came from an outside, occupying society. There is a long history of tolerance up to modern times in those and other SEA countries. That tolerance has declined recently in Muslim areas further to Saudi funding of reactionary clerics but it's still there. Maybe the following will be of interest, and you can always check transgender history in Wikipedia and look at the SEA countries mentioned.

Transgender people in Asia

Transgender and LGBTQ+ people have long existed in Asia, although they don't always fit Western notions of gender, sex, and identity. Learn more here.

I thought you might pull a Clinton regarding the word "recent" and looks like I was right. Before I get off the Nutjob Express train on its way to the time of the Assyrians I have one last question.

Do any of these "tolerant" Muslim countries had/have religious or government leaders that are homosexual?

Most food stamp recipients are Republicans in rural areas...

And here I thought it was a tad more complex than that. Are you talking sheer #'s or percent of R's vs D's, or something else?

Probably due to the war on coal that Soetoro waged

Map shows which states rely on food stamps most as SNAP funding expires

If you think 1990 or 2003 isn't recent when the subject covers hundreds of years then you shouldn't be calling anyone else a nut job. Your adamant denial of a simple obvious fact is kind of nutty too but I guess you have your reasons.
Did you look at the links?

That’s a lie, but not shocking given the source. People on the left, like Nash, love to misrepresent this.

The south isn’t over presented because of republicans on food stamps, but rather because the south is disproportionately blacker than the rest of the country.

The data actually suggests that Democrats, not Republicans are most likely to receive SNAP

LOL no they aren't

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Disagree to an extent. It's roughly ~40% white, ~30% AA, ~20% Hispanic, and ~10% other.

Fair to say that rural/exurban White Rs is largest group but nowhere near "most"...

It’s called taqiyya which makes lying permissible.

So only white peoples on assistance are rural and republican?
Interesting. Who would of thought that?

The bulk of white people on SNAP would be rural/exurban.

It is overwhelmingly R group.

It is still not most of the people on SNAP.

Hispanics are still more urban and still lean slightly D so including them as Rs still doesnt make it most.

 

[Orangeslice13]

It is overwhelmingly R.

The map of where assistance is available and paints a way different picture than the narrative. Not buying that rural and white means republicans. A significant portion of Gingers family are rural white democrats on assistance.

Look at a county map in TN where the % is the highest. They are all counties that go 80%+ more R and 80%+ white

 

[Orangeslice13]

That doesn’t prove anything. Are you trying to suggest that the 30 percent Democrats are 100% not on assistance?
It’s just as likely that the entire 30% democratic population of those areas are democrats who depend on the government and vote for the party that controls their assistance/income.

Without a demographic breakdown of the actual people receiving assistance and their party affiliation then it’s pure speculation. Btw. California receives the most assistance.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Again….the redheads extended family…living in rural America….most all on assistance and 100% Biden voters

 

[Vol8188]

Look at a county map in TN where the % is the highest. They are all counties that go 80%+ more R and 80%+ white

If you look at national level data you’ll find there’s not a massive difference in terms of number of white people on food stamps vs number of black people.

But the black vote is going to be about 85% democrat. Meanwhile the white voters is going to be about 55/45 republican.

Because of this, there’s more democrats on SNAP. Data from Pew Research backs that claim.
