yeah, whatever
As the US now prepares for more years of war in Ukraine
Yet, Ukraine won the war, right?
Where is the victory parade?
No one has won the war, Russia's special military operation failed and delved into a war of attrition that continues to this day, and neither individual battle determines the long term. The fog of war remains. Both sides have suffered tremendous loss.

They share the same policy goals to get rid of NAFTA... which may seem odd on the surface but both are populists, and NAFTA was a cabal of swampy corruption.
So far as most policies, yes of course, very different.
Trump is a faux-populist and if you follow his policy you should know this. He didn't stop the offshoring of jobs.
Quote:
While the Trump administration has claimed that the era of U.S. offshoring is “over,” the reality is that the United States has not begun to address the root causes of America’s growing trade deficits and the decline of American manufacturing. Decades of trade, currency, and tax policies that incentivized offshoring, combined with an utter failure to invest adequately in infrastructure and good jobs at home, have contributed to growing inequality and an eroding middle class.
President Trump’s erratic, ego-driven, and inconsistent trade policies have not achieved any measurable progress, despite the newly combative rhetoric. On top of that, COVID-19—and the administration’s mismanagement of the crisis—has wiped out much of the last decade’s job gains in U.S. manufacturing.
Unless steps are taken now—to reform our trade policy, to curb dollar overvaluation, to eliminate tax incentives for offshoring, and to rebuild the domestic economy—there won’t be a comeback.
As this policy report makes clear:
Offshoring and the loss of manufacturing plants have continued under Trump, notwithstanding U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer’s claim that the administration’s trade policy is helping U.S. workers (Lighthizer 2020a).

Global religious trends are interesting to study, Christianity and Islam are on the rise in certain countries, while atheism seems to be on the rise in countries like the USA and France.
I like Pew's research.
Spirituality is fluid, go with the flow and try not to hate, nobody has all the answers.
Regarding science and religion, Lutherans and Catholics are very science savvy.
There's a "neo-stance" on many things like hippies, religions, and spiritual practices, I think everything evolves, and since religions have evolved along with us and are one of the foundation stones of modern society, one of the things which actually made us more moral, it's no wonder they are evolving along with us.

I get riled up when I hear of rough treatment applied to blasphemers, and this is becoming more popular, especially as the divisions between church and state become more and more fuzzy, along with the rest of human endeavors. fuzzy wuzzy.

Russia's special military operation failed . . .
The only way one can accurately call it "failure" is to be 100% sure of the full scope of all the motivations and goals. Do you feel totally confident you understand the thinking and strategy that has gone into this? How about goals that have nothing to do with the battlefield? The media constantly insists they know exactly what Putin is thinking. They sell fantasy as truth. That they tell us every day Putin has failed should trigger strong suspicion.
Psychologically speaking, people's hatred often fuels fantasy driven stories. We've seen this collective psychosis focused on Trump for the last 8 years. People full of anger and hatred fantasize about Trump and create wild stories that aren't rooted in reality. The news makes up fantasies about Trump. Many books about him are pure fantasy projection. No human on earth has been more fantasized about than Donald Trump.

The special military operation was supposed to be over in 7-30 days.
It fell into a war of attrition, there no longer is a special military operation in play, but a war. SMO is a play of words to minimise the catastrophic war that unfolded.
The war is still ongoing but the SMO failed spectacularly.

Pretty sure no religion is the fasted growing in US, but within religious denominations it could be whatever.
Here's some interesting insight though,
Quote:
You’ve probably heard that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world. Based on current trends, the Pew Research Center projects that by 2050 the number of Muslims will be nearly equal to the number of Christians around the world.
To some, this implies Islam attracts multitudes every year and the number of its adherents is growing. When Christians encounter such analysis, they assume the claim is true and can become discouraged—especially when we compare this with statistics of nominal Christians abandoning their faith.
Many assume Islam is ascendant among world religions while Christianity is declining—that Islam is persuasive and convincing while Christianity is not. But these statistics can be misleading because the increase isn’t caused by people converting to Islam. Also, these stats don’t reflect the growing number of Muslims leaving their faith.
Understanding Reality
The growing number of Muslims is mainly due to higher birth rates in Muslim families, not new converts to Islam. Consider that a Muslim man can marry up to four women, which often leads to more children. Consider also that in many Muslim circles, women aren’t allowed to work outside the home, which usually results in more children than the average non-Muslim family.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/islam-fastest-growing-religion/%3famp
Why are you talking about racial IQ tests in response to someone talking about Trump?
It's not taboo to talk about policy. It is preferable you actually refer to policy though. That said, Biden's son was found to be involved in what looks like a quid pro quo art deal recently, selling his pieces for $800,000 to a single political buyer, that I think is now known.

It's true a lot of legacy media outlets report through the Overton window allowed by their sponsors.
