In the bible belt*. Their bible apparently supports the idea that women are second class citizens

I like how conservatives are like “[X] country is bad because look how they treat LGBT+ people”
meanwhile back at home… in conservative areas…

And supports slavery… Though I guess we could go on forever with this.

It’s not so much that women are second class but more that pale bros are the master “race”.

“The country we been invading once a decade for oil is not as progressive and is progressing almost as slow as us.”

Fr. I wonder how advanced China would’ve been if the British didn’t invade on the pretense of the opium stuff, and the Japanese Imperialists didn’t invade, looted, and burned stuff. Perhaps it would’ve become an actual bastion of freedom, democracy, prosperity, instead of… you know… current timeline.

Neoliberals love to slap rainbow flags on brutal oligarchical governments, while downplaying or denying the civil rights abuses of friendly countries.
And they love to kick and scream about historical wrongs committed by prior leaders, while dismissing any kind of reform or social advancement in the last generation.
Back in liberal areas you still see conservative state and local administrators treating LGBTQ as pariahs and punishing them for any kind of outspoken queerness. You’re allowed to be gay in the US only as long as you are indistinguishable from all your straight peers. If you look gay - even in bleeding heart of NYC or the Hollywood Hills - you’re going to take shit from the police, the mayor, and most major employers.
American liberalism is entirely a legal fiction. In the free market, it might as well not exist.
