Re: @Martin Gregorie
"the odd bad actor"
I would have thought that before Trump/Pence, but it appears Pence has brought a not insignificantly large group of Evangelicals who seem hell bent on bring about the Apocalypse and will use their whole "lying for Jesus" methodology to do so. The religious right in the US, it seems, is going through a massive, collective, cognitive dissonance. They know they're wrong, but cannot bring themselves to accept that, yet. It is this group that would like to be the ruling equivalent of the Taliban or the religious branch in Saudi Arabian governance (autocratic theocracy?). If we can make it through another generation or two without being thrown into a nuclear war and/or Fascist regimes everywhere we might be able to shake off the shackles of that religious tribalism and have one fewer group to fear will bring about the loss of human rights.
