The core voters are lost forever. Fuck them, don't think about what they're going to do.

The actual laws also don't seem to matter, in all fairness.

We've already pretty much given up on everything east of Leavenworth.

Cool, is there room for one hundred million Americans in your vocational school?

There's so much more to it, but the short version is that a huge portion of this country doesn't consider atheists trustworthy or even properly "American". God is on our money, the bible is used for official government ceremony, most of our public holidays are Christian, the word holiday and tons of others are explicitly rooted in religious culture. In-n-Out has a little bible passage on their cups.

Being openly atheist is a radical position in this country, one that will limit you professionally and socially.

I would like to normalize non-belief though.

To be fair, we sorta knew it was possible because birds. I think it's more impressive when we don't know what can happen, like breaking the sound barrier or putting people in space.

I don't need ignorance to feel wonder. I think things are cooler when I can marvel at the complex mechanics behind it all.

He served for 20 years, it wasn't just boot camp. In that time he learned to paint, and eventually earned more money painting than he was getting in the Air Force and retired. The core is accurate though, he said that he was tired of being mean and didn't want to yell anymore.

I don't want flying cars because I don't want 95% of the people around me to be driving regular cars. Can't even use a turn signal and now they have carte blanche to drive over houses and shit?

The answer is mass transit. Mag-rail, not personal aviation.
