I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

To all those who say Trump has “single-handedly” wrecked the economy: He didn’t do it single-handedly. Congress could’ve stopped him anytime. The Republican-led Congress allowed him to wreck the economy.

Living in NZ, the graphic from the 2020 election is misrepresentative of normal distribution. The current Labour govt roared to an unprecedented sole majority victory off the back of successful Covid elimination (at that point anyway). Recommend using data from the 2017 election that shows a more traditional spread. We use a mixed member proportional system.
