North America's largest cross is about an hour east of Amarillo in the Texas panhandle. It also has a set of lifesized Jesus statues and a memorial to aborted babies. The midwest ain't got nothing on us.

A set of Jesus statues? Like one for each Jesus?

Are the fetus memorials also lifesized?

One for each stage of the cross or whatever, I'm a jew I don't know. They start with him being accused with vague crimes and end with him being tortured to death

And always a pic of him from The Big Lebowski rather than any of the actual westerns he did.

Of course it's because their standard for masculinity is literally skin deep and he has a moustache and a deep voice and looks good in a cowboy hat, so this skinny actor from Commiefornia is their paragon of manliness.

The "I hate my wife" poo poo hits me especially hard cuz I thought I was gay for years when in fact I'm bi. It's true, my partner is sometimes annoying, but I'd really rather share an apartment with her than anyone else. She kinda rocks tbh.

Loving your wife is gay

Sorry you're gay. If you want to be straight hang out with guys all the time and avoid your wife or girlfriend at all costs.

Is that not a thing outside the midwest? Frothier churches around here occasionally blanket their lawns with hundreds of small crosses to "honor the victims of abortion", like they are marking graves. Personally it just seems like a nightmare to mow the grass around them.

I'm in the southern part of VA and can confirm there are plenty of churches out here that do this.

Also don't forget that in order to be a true blooded American straight manly man you must not only hate your wife but your mother in law.

Fans, man. Fans are always the fuckin' worst. Doesn't matter if they're chuds who think they're cowboys because they jerk off to John Wayne movies or shitheads who think they're supergeniuses because they watch Rick and Morty. They're going to find their "ideal" and strive to emulate the most surface level aspects of it.

Too bad they didn't invest in Trump stock so they could make money even if they had to "pay back" the gross amount. But I'm not bitter; I've received zero and get to pay the inflation they caused. I think you get money you had to be straight, married, and have several children, maybe even multiple marriages, a few boats, and a mortgage payment.

• If a guy pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine.
• Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang member or terrorist who jumps the southern fence is welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• If you cheat in an election nothing happens to you, but if you point out the mathematical errors of that election you are a conspiracy theorist & disdained.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan for us.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of their rights.
Then there is the whole Afghanistan, vaccine, endless COVID variants, election cheating, deficient president, violence in the cities, defunding the police, confiscating my guns while arming terrorists, etc., etc.
And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!
Nothing makes sense anymore - no values, no morals, and no civility. People are dying of a Chinese virus, but it's racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong but killing unborn babies is okay!
Let's see them fact check this.

Yes, correct, because the census is not meant to count how many citizens are in a country, but how many people are residing in a country, as people can be here temporarily on work visas or cultural exchange programs. And since they live in an area, they are counted in the census, as things like federal aid and representation are based on population, not citizenship.

This is not a hard concept to understand for anyone who isn't a brainworm filled chud.
